Tin Town, Luton history

After the Second World War, there was a severe shortage of accommodation and new building materials were employed in order to save both time and money. The majority were BISF Houses, which used sheetmetal for the upper parts of the construction, hence the local name for the area becoming ‘Tin Town’ Most of these houses still stand today, although in recent years the local council have covered the original metal with cladding.
