Biggleswade is a market town and civil parish located on the River Ivel in Bedfordshire, England. It is growing in population mainly because of good transport links along the A1 road between London and the North, and via Biggleswade railway station on the East Coast Main Line). New housing developments continue.
Biggleswade is located about 40 miles (60 km) north of Central London and 20 miles (30 km) to the west-south-west of Cambridge.

The Biggleswade civil parish also includes the nearby hamlet of Holme, Bedfordshire.
The town lies just off the A1, Britain's Great North Road between London and Edinburgh - and the B1040, which leads to Potton in the north, runs through the town. Biggleswade is also situated on the A6001, which leads to Langford and Henlow to the south. At the north end of Biggleswade past Shortmead House lies a solar power farm, whilst a wind farm of ten turbines sits beyond the south end of the town, towards Langford.
The area around Biggleswade is thought to have been inhabited from around 10,000 BC, with arrowheads dating from this period believed to have been found in the region. In Roman times, a loop road known as the White Way passed through Biggleswade (possibly along the course of the present-day Drove Road), linking up with the Ermine Way at Godmanchester.

Trains at Arlesey, ECML | 01/07/17
A busy and warm day down at Arlesey station on the ECML (East Coast Mainline) on a Saturday afternoon.
Arlesey Station info:
Arlesey railway station serves the town of Arlesey in Bedfordshire, England. The station is 37 miles (60 km) north of London Kings Cross on the East Coast Main Line. Arlesey is managed and served by Great Northern.
Arlesey is the nearest station to the towns of Stotfold and Shefford and to the villages of Langford, Clifton and Henlow.
History:
Original station:
The first section of the Great Northern Railway (GNR) (from Louth to a junction with the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway at Grimsby) opened on 1 March 1848; but the southern section of the main line (from Maiden Lane to Peterborough) was not opened until 7 August 1850. One of the 1850 stations was Arlsey and Shefford Road. It was renamed Arlesey and Shefford Road in March 1860, but the shorter name of Arlesey was used between July 1893 and July 1895.
The GNR became part of the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) during the grouping of 1923. On 1 March 1933 the LNER renamed the station Arlesey and Henlow. The station passed to the Eastern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.
The station and the adjacent Three Counties railway station were closed to passengers on 5 January 1959 and to goods on 28 November 1960, and demolished soon after due to declining receipts.
Present station:
The line, however, remained open; and the present station built by Network SouthEast opened on 3 October 1988 on the site of the original station in the Church End area of Arlesey. The rebuilt station was designed to be fully accessible to wheelchairs but was initially unusable by those who couldn't leave their chair as there were no facilities for 'loading and unloading'. First Capital Connect provided the station with ramps in 2006, and users now simply have to ring 24 hours in advance for assistance.
In 2006 Her Majesty The Queen visited the station.
The station's platforms are currently being lengthened to accommodate 12 car trains scheduled to serve the station upon completion of the Thameslink Programme.
he station is fully accessible to wheelchair users, and FCC installed modern LED lights on both platforms in 2009.
The station now has two small shelters on both platforms. The station is currently (as of 2010) served by a small portable cafe in the mornings.
Facilities:
There is a ticket office on the southbound platform with a Permit to Travel Machine and a modern Touch Screen ticket machine located in front of the booking office. Cycle storage is provided on both sides of the station; although only the southbound side has secure storage. First Capital Connect installed a help point on Platform 1. Arlesey station does not currently have automatic ticket gates. Train running information is provided via digital CIS displays, automated announcements and a customer help point on platform 1.
Services:
Arlesey station is served by a half-hourly service southbound to London Kings Cross and northbound to Peterborough. There is an hourly service in each direction on Sundays.
Shefford Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of Bedfordshire, and around nine miles southeast of Bedford, is the town of Shefford.
The town's name is derived from Old English for 'sheep ford', hinting at its origins as a shallow river crossing where shepherds would guide their sheep over the rivers Flit and/or Hit. In 1225 a market charter was granted to Shefford, followed by a further charter in 1312 which granted it the right to hold an annual fair.
At the heart of the town is the church of St Michael and All Angels. This dates from the 15th century, although it was largely rebuilt in the 19th century. Originally it was a chapel of ease under the control of the parish of Campton, a neighbouring village about a mile to the southwest. It wasn't until 1903 that the church became a parish in its own right.
In 1823 the Ivel Navigation reached Shefford. This was a project which began in the 1750s, making the rivers Great Ouse and Ivel navigable for large cargo boats all the way from King's Lynn to Biggleswade. The extension in 1823 connected Shefford to Biggleswade, and in turn all the way to King's Lynn. This initially brought about growth to the town, but the waterway closed in 1876 having incurred heavy losses in the face of competition from the recent arrival of the railway.
In 1857 a railway station opened in Shefford courtesy of the Midland Railway. This formed part of the Bedford–Hitchin line, which linked the Midland Main Line (at Bedford) to the East Coast Main Line (at Hitchin). The station closed to passengers in 1962, and to goods in 1964. Today, public transport to Shefford consists of direct buses from Bedford, Hitchin and various other nearby settlements.

Kelham Island has the best pub crawls in the country, full of award winning pubs. Many people like to start out at the amusingly named Bar Stewards micropub on Shalesmoor. Right across the road from that is the excellent Shakespeares with its massive menu of hand-pull drinks. It is then just a short walk to the extremely popular Kelham Island Tavern. This amazing pub is the only venue to have won the CAMRA’s national Pub of the Year award in two consecutive years.
If you’re arriving to the area on the Supertram, the Shalesmoor stop sits right next to The Wellington, the tap pub of the Neepsend Brewery. From there is is a hop over the crossings to get to the likes of The Ship, a historical pub which has been refurbished to a high standard in the last few years. It is said that two seamen, possibly smugglers, drowned during the Sheffield Flood of 1864 in secret tunnels under the pub.
Probably the most important pub in Kelham Island is The Fat Cat.
But what if Real Ale just isn’t your thing? Kelham Island has pretty much everyone covered. The Kelham Wine Bar is situated just at the end of the Ball Street bridge alongside its sister venue Graffiti Bar and Kitchen, which happens to have a lovely cocktail menu as well as a funky outside pod dining area.
Sat atop recycled shipping containers at the Krynkl complex is INC, Sheffield’s first rooftop bar. Some of the best Beer Gardens in Sheffield can be found in Kelham Island, such as Riverside Kelham. Remember to nip across the bridge for a good view of the famous artwork by Phlegm on the wall behind here.
The Milestone started the revolution of Kelham Island as a food destination.
What a place Cutlery Works is! Located in and named after the old Rutland Cutlery Works on Neepsend Lane, this amazing building has 14 food outlets and 3 bars on 2 floors - making it the largest foodhall in the North of England.
A must-visit event is Peddler, a night market that takes place at 92 Burton Road warehouses on the first Friday and Saturday of every month. This incredible space houses a huge rotating assortment of street food vendors, drinks, makers’ stalls, art and live music.

Major Philip Musgrave Neeld Wroughton Memorial near Great Shefford
There is a plaque on the side commemorating the other dead from Great Shefford. It seems extra poignant to have the memorial on such a lovely spot. The Major died during Second Battle of Gaza was fought between 17 to 19 April 1917 . He is actually buried in Gaza.
Berkshire Yeomanry Regiment died 19/04/1917 aged 29. son of Son of Philip and Evelyn M. Wroughton, of Woolley Park, Wantage, Berks. Philips father (also Philip) has a page on Wikipedia.
Sometimes the story of the death of an individual brings home the horror of war more effectively than reciting the millions of deaths in the Great War.
