The cottages from 57 Compton Avenue at Leagrave, near Luton in Bedfordshire started life in the early eighteenth century as a weatherboarded thatched barn with central double doors at the front. In the late eighteenth century the barn was `converted` into two labourers' cottages. The cottage next to the road has been restored to this period. The other half is furnished as it might have been in the late 1920s, illustrating how the building had changed in the intervening years. A shoemaker's workshop occupies the out-shot and the nineteenth-century Preston Bisset Privy incorporating two bucket toilets is located in the Leagrave garden.       This is a personal website run by John & Judy Saville.  All web pages are Copyright John & Judy Saville as are all photographs unless otherwise indicated.
