About
Bedford is
boring and John Bunyan aside nothing ever happened here.
Wrong.
We’ve had a
secret spy school, a mass invasion almost overnight, and a plush property
portfolio bought for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
In 1883 a
quarter of Bedfordshire belonged to just two men, His Grace Francis Charles
Hastings Russell KG, 9th Duke of Bedford and the brewing baron,
Samuel C Whitbread.
More changed
in the next seventy years than in the previous 700.
This site
will look primarily at that time, telling the remarkable stories of those who
helped shape it.
