More about Bedford Bedfordshire
Bedford is the county town of Bedfordshire, England. It is the administrative centre for the Bedford borough. The town has a population of 82,488, with 19,440 in the adjacent town of Kempston. The wider borough, including a rural area, has a population of 147,911. Bedford is often identified with the Bedcanford (meaning a fortress on a river) of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle and the Battle of Bedford it records there in 571, when ‘Cuthwulf fought against the Britons..., and took four towns’. The town was destroyed by the Vikings but rebuilt. In 919 Edward the Elder built Bedford's first known fortress, on the south side of the River Ouse and there received the area's submission. This fortress was again destroyed by the Danes.
Bedford was a market town for the surrounding agricultural areas from the early Middle Ages. It traces its town charter in 1166 by Henry II and elected two members to the House of Commons. Bedford had a castle which was razed in 1224.
A number of major engineering works came to Bedford in the nineteenth century, most notably the Rolls Royce engineering plant, but most of these have now closed, and the town lacks a strong driver for its economy.
Nonetheless it is expanding more rapidly than most English towns, with a number of major residential developments in progress. This is partly due to Bedford’s strong rail links to London, and the associated demand for commuters' dormitory housing.
Bedford was the home and prison of John Bunyan, the author of the Pilgrim's Progress. Other prominent Bedfordians include Tim Foster, men's coxless fours Olympic gold medallist; Paula Radcliffe, the UK's top female long-distance runner, the late comedian Ronnie Barker, heavyweight boxer Matt Skelton, badminton champion Gail Emms and Crystal Palace FC. and England footballer Andy Johnson.
The River Great Ouse passes through the town centre, and is lined with attractive gardens known as The Embankment. Bedford is home to four public schools run by the Harpur Trust charity, endowed by Bedfordian Sir William Harpur in the sixteenth century.
Every two years, an event called ‘The River Festival’
is held near the river in Bedford during early July.
The event lasts for two days and regularly attracts about 250,000 guests. The event includes sports, funfairs and live music. It is the second largest regular outdoor event in the UK beaten in numbers only by the Notting Hill Carnival. The Bedford Regatta each May is Britain's largest one-day rowing event.
Bedford has two railway stations – Bedford (Midland) is located on the Midland Main Line. It is the northernmost stop on the Thameslink rail service to London, and is also served by Midland Mainline trains.
It is also the terminus of the Marston Vale Line from Bletchley. Bedford St Johns, is the penultimate stop on the Marston Vale line.
Interestingly, Bedford is home to the largest concentration of Italian immigrants in the UK.
According to a 2001 census, 10% of Bedford's population is of Italian descent. This is mainly as a result of labour recruitment in the early 1950's by the London Brick Company in the southern Italian regions of Puglia, Campania, Calabria, and Sicily. Bedford's Italian, almost 'Little Italy' feel is enhanced by a wide variety of Italian bars, restaurants and social clubs throughout the town as well as a large number of delis and grocery shops selling Italian & continental produce and by the large Italian mission Church ran by the Scalabrini Fathers order. Bedford has, since 1954, had its own Italian Vice Consulate.
In addition to Italian migrants, Bedford has also been the recipient of significant immigration from Southern Asia, Eastern Europe (particularly in the last few years), Greece, Cyprus, the Middle East and Africa making it one of the most ethnically and linguistically diverse towns in both Britain and the European Union, especially in proportion to its size.
Bedford is home to over one hundred immigrant languages, including Italian, Punjabi, Turkish, Polish, Portuguese and both Cantonese and Mandarin Chinese. With one language per thousand residents, the town has twenty-five times as many languages as London in proportion to population size, the most linguistically diverse city on the planet. If London had the same proportion of languages to population, every known language on the planet would be spoken there. There are also significant numbers of English-speaking immigrants in Bedford from former British colonies, most notably South Africa and the West Indies.
