Early Economy[edit]
there is very little indeed, but i'm guessing that you can say (or actually know) that luton was agricultural based then moved to bricks, then to hats, then to cars.
Brickmaking[edit]
Very little, but there are occasional references
- two types of brick from luton - [9]
- Ah ha! a history bit with stuff about a lot of things including bricks - [10]
Hatmaking[edit]
- the hat story, with some stuff about luton in it - [11]
- this is about a celebrity hat competion involving luton - [12]
- not exactly hat making, but a good link all round actually, have a look - [13]
- this is a very interesting piece from parliment about the hat industry. i found it odd at first, but full of info - [14]
- directory for hat industry in uk - see that they're mainly from luton - [15]
It seems that luton is really important and famous for it's hat industry. mabye you should add this to the main economy article or in general in history on the main article for luton.
