Oldhill Estate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Old Hill Estate is an area in the town of Dunstable, Bedfordshire, England. Originally known as The Oldhill Down Estate. William Old Ltd first submitted plans for a major new housing estate to extend southwards beyond the Laing's Croft Golf Course Estate. Construction began about a year later. Most of the roads on the estate refer to either noted buildings or locations near to Dunstable or ancient field names.

It is situated to the south-west of the town centre, and comprises what is considered to be the one of the wealthier areas of Dunstable.
