Round Green
Round Green is a suburb of Luton just over 1 mile (1.6 km) north-east of the town centre, and a ward of the Borough of Luton, in the ceremonial county of Bedfordshire, England. The area is roughly bounded by Bradgers Hill to the north, People's Park, Richmond Hill and Turners Road South to the south, Wardown Crescent and Elmwood Crescent to the west, and Vauxhall Way to the east.
Formerly a small hamlet between Biscot, Leagrave and Stopsley, Round Green is one of the oldest parts of Luton, with references to the area dating back to 1170.
The area originally called Cowridge End stretches from what is now Old Bedford Road up to Birchen Grove in the North and down to Crawley Green in the south. The area was officially assumed into the boundary of Luton in 1933.
In 1908, the Luton Tram Service started up, with route one terminating at Round Green (starting out in Park Street). The tram service in the town was short-lived, and in 1931 the council decided to replace the trams with buses.
There is a Grade II-listed water tower on Hart Lane which is one of the most prominent points on Luton's skyline if looking eastwards from the centre. The building was erected in 1900 following a drought that affected the Stopsley area and is a counterpart to a similarly aged water town on West Hill Road in New Town.
The Luton Co-Operative Club is based on Stockingstone Road and is a member's club featuring a bar and sports facilities.
There are few parks and open spaces in the Round Green area due to the proximity of People's Park in High Town and other large spaces in the Crawley area. There is a small children's play area at Abbotswood Park between Abbots Wood Road and Abbey Drive, and a wooded area at the northernmost point of Hitchin Road.
The Jolly Topers on the Hitchin Road roundabout has licensing records dating back to 1822 and is the last remaining public house in the area. A murder inquest was held there in 1867. A large horse-chestnut tree stood next to the roundabout outside the Jolly Topers; it had presided over the area for 150 years until 2001.
