What is "putteridge"

Putteridge is a small part of the Stopsley ward, in the east of Luton, England. The area spans from Jansel House, the VAT Building in Luton, up towards Butterfield's Green and Putteridge High School. The area also includes the University of Bedfordshire Putteridge Bury Campus and surrounding area, which extends into Hertfordshire. Many of the houses were built in the 1930s by Janes Builders of Luton.

The area is surrounded by green space including Butterfield's Green. Butterfield is a new industrial development currently being built. This is hoped to help boost the local economy of the area and Luton as a whole. The area is also home to one of Luton's cemeteries, The Vale.

The local schools, Putteridge Infants, Putteridge Juniors and Putteridge High School serve the local areas including Stopsley, Round Green and Wigmore.
