Biscot
for the French actor see Georges Biscot
Biscot is an area of Luton close to the town centre. The name of Biscot can be traced back to the Domesday Book where it is recorded as Bissopescote which means 'King's land'.
Commer produced trucks in Biscot for many years at their factory in Biscot Road. SKF, the Swedish ball bearing manufacturer, were located on Leagrave Road and employed many local people until the 1970s when they closed their operations in the area.
