Comment: I am researching my King family history and have found Leigton B. connections. My Gt.gt.gt Uncle William King owned the Battlesden Steam Coach Works in the High Street. He according to his advertisement was of world wide renown for his vehicles and won medals for them. Does anyone know of him or the business? or where abouts?
His widow in 1891 lived at 165 Stoke Rd, but I can't find it, any ideas?
Thanks Andrew

Comment: I've just started doing a little research, from a whim, as my mother and her family were evacuated to Leighton Buzzard from the Spring of 1942-1945, where she (Yvonne Irene Selby) and her parents (Ann & Arthur Blackburn) lived in two rooms at 14 Lake Street, I believe, formerly the old Manor House - plus Bonfield, she said, next door but one to the Unicorn Hotel. My grandfather's business, R. F. Hunter Ltd., was based in Gower Street, London WC1, but also, I believe, transferred to Leighton Buzzard for the duration of the war.
The Town Council have sent me a postcard of the Corn Exchange and Lake Street and I have already printed off the two photos of the hotel from your website.
I am going to arrange for my Mother to have a sitting at her local library, where she can be encouraged to have a go herself.
