During WWI, Luton was a bustling market town, with a hat industry and trade connections to London and beyond via the Midland and Great Northern Railways.

This list contains brief descriptions and addresses of many of the Luton businesses that the people of Luton would use. The purpose of this list is to provide links between the lives of servicemen in town, and their employers. So if Jack Smith worked for Mr Tucker the Drapers, then these links will hopefully be added by contributors as the website builds.
