'New Town' is a district of Luton just south east of the town centre between Castle Street, the main route to London and the M1 motorway on one side and Park Street, leading to Luton Hoo and the village of Hyde on the other side. Castle Street was the site of a medieval castle and Park Street and its surrounding streets are home to many students of the nearby University of Bedfordshire. The district has characteristic pubs and has traditionally been a working class area of the town. To alleviate the housing shortage of the 1960s several multi-story flats were built and an industrial park was added in the 1980s to attract new industries. The ring road, which passes nearby, was created at the same time to ease traffic congestion from the M1 motorway to the ever expanding Luton Airport.
