Journey back in time to Bedfordshire as it used to be, from the last days of the Edwardians through to the 1950s. See how ordinary people lived and worked through half a century of immense change.
Thank you for this. Such great memories. I still have and use tools I bought on Bedford market in the town centre in the 1960's. I remember night clubbing in the Corn Exchange too and walks along the embankment. The train spotting was good in Bedford too. So many memories.
Thank you for the recording love seeing it as I left in1956 wwith my American husband back in58 for one year aand then came to America. We as teenagers loved to go up to Cardington Camp for the dances and also to the Corn exchange which had wonderful dances,also Paulos cafe across from the market was a safe place for us girls to go and eye the boys who hung around there.
