Bedfordshire – Famous for Luton Airport and the R101
First mention of the County appeared in the 11th century. After the Romans departed, the Angle settled in Bedfordshire (in the 5th century). Following the Norman Conquest, the County has seen a number of conflicts, including the English Civil War.
One of the many famous people connected to Bedfordshire was an English Christian writer and preacher, John Bunyan, who wrote The Pilgrim’s Progress and was born in Elstow in 1628. He also served in the Newport Pagnell garrison during the English Civil War.
Bedfordshire is also home to London Luton Airport. which has often been at the receiving end of a humorous TV advert in the past. However, one of the visible landmarks in the County is perhaps the two huge former airship sheds in Cardington. The first shed was built in 1915 by Short Brothers to build airships, but the second shed came from Norfolk where it was dismantled and re-erected in 1928. Unfortunately, following the crash of the R101 in 1930, killing 48 of the 54 onboard, all work on airships in Britain stopped.
