About Dunstable - show infohide info
Dunstable is a town in the county of Bedfordshire, with a population of 33,805 (2001 census). It lies on the ancient Roman road of Watling Street, which is the modern A5 trunk road. Its name came from Anglo-Saxon Dunstaple, meaning "Hill Market". In Roman times its name was Durocobrivis. Dunstable was the site of an Eleanor cross. Geographically Dunstable lies on the eastward tail spurs of the Chiltern Hills, these spurs form several steep chalk escarpments most noticeable when approaching Dunstable from the north. Historically Dunstable was a significant market town, but its importance has diminished as the neighbouring town of Luton grew. Nowadays much of the work in Dunstable is light engineering providing automobile parts for the Vauxhall plant in Luton, but with the closure of this plant Dunstable is following Luton into decline. Near Dunstable are the towns of Luton, Milton Keynes, Bedford, Hitchin, Hemel Hempstead, Hertford and Stevenage.
