'''Bedford''' is the county town of [[Bedfordshire]] in south-east [[England]], located approximately 48 miles north of [[London]]. The village of Kempston, on the edge of Bedford, was the home of [[John Bunyan]], while nearby Cardington was the main base of Britain's [[airship]] industry in the 1920s and 30s. The ill-fated airship [[R101]] was built there, and the surviving airship hangar forms the largest single enclosed space in the United Kingdom. Bedford has a significant Italian population, drawn to the town after 1945 to work in the local brick-making industry.
