EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, EPW022470 from the Historic England Archive, offers a unique bird's-eye view of Leighton Buzzard's historic town center as it appeared in 1928. The image, captured by Aerofilms Ltd, showcases the picturesque High Street and All Saints Church, a prominent landmark of the town. All Saints Church, with its distinctive red-tiled roof and tall spire, stands proudly at the heart of the scene. Its Gothic Revival architecture, featuring intricate stonework and pointed arches, is a testament to the rich history of the town. The church, which dates back to the 13th century, has been an integral part of Leighton Buzzard's community for centuries. Surrounding the church is the bustling High Street, filled with a mix of shops, houses, and public buildings. The wide, tree-lined street is a reflection of the town's prosperity during the early 20th century. The photograph also reveals the presence of the Market Square, located to the left of the image, where locals would gather to buy and sell produce and other goods. The intricate details of the buildings and the layout of the town are beautifully preserved in this aerial photograph. The image provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the urban landscape of Leighton Buzzard over 90 years ago. This photograph is a valuable historical record and a reminder of the town's rich heritage.
