Bedford exhibits a wealth of history in its old buildings and in
the nineteenth- and twentieth-century developments which
transformed it into an educational, industrial and residential
centre. This fascinating selection from photographic archives
naturally includes places associated with John Bunyan, author of
The Pilgrim's Progress, John Howard, the philanthropist, and Sir
William Harpur, from whose sixteenth-century endowment sprang four
public schools and many almshouses. The photographs also feature
the contribution of other locally significant figures such as the
Chethams, boat-builders and cinema exhibitors, the prolific
architect Albert Prosser, and the Howard family of agricultural
engineers. This is an endlessly fascinating anthology of former
days in Bedford.
