Dunstable has a long history, starting as the Roman settlement of Durocobrivis and growing in importance with the Augustinian priory founded by Henry I. This past has shaped the town's buildings, with spaces repurposed from medieval structures, perhaps former priory buildings or old coaching inns along Watling Street. The town’s industrial past in straw plaiting, hat making, and printing also means many establishments are in former workshops, each with a local feel. As you explore, you’ll find pubs with original charm, modern cafes, and community hubs. These are spread throughout Dunstable-Central, around Priory Gardens, or along West Street. Each venue contributes to the town's character. This directory reflects Dunstable’s local life, offering choices that make up its present-day community.
