The Town Council stated: "Discover who walked down these streets before you, with a glimpse into the lives of the ordinary folk of Leighton-Linslade and the impact they left on the town’s history.

"The Living History Trail celebrates the lives of the people who have lived and worked in the town, with each story linked to a building or monument."

The points on the trail are marked by a blue and yellow tile on the pavement.
