More information about Bedford
Bedford is a small town situated in the county of Bedfordshire, situated just 54 miles north of Central London. It is an ancient market town and important transport hub, nestled in a rural landscape steeped in history. Bedford's importance lies its connections to the car industry, finance industry, and motorsport. From humble beginnings, the town has become an important hub for businesses, events, and recreation. This article will explore these connections, trace Bedford's beginnings, and highlights some of the exciting opportunities for visitors and residents alike.
Located along the River Great Ouse, Bedford's history stretches back to the 8th century. Its importance as a trading hub during the early middle ages has led to many well-preserved historical sites such as the famous Castle Mound, located north of the town centre. Bedford's development as an industrial hub began during the 19th century when the Grand Junction Canal was built, linking the town to London and The Midlands. This made it an ideal place for industry, which rapidly grew in the 19th century.
In terms of the car industry, Bedford has a long history of manufacturing, with many iconic companies setting up shop here over the years. Car production started with the Liberty Motors factory in 1934, operated as part of the Vauxhall Motors group. Liberty's factory was the first complete Vauxhall Motors factory to be established outside of the United Kingdom. The company was joined by the Rootes Brothers' Bedford Motor Factories in 1939, and the legacy of car manufacturing in the town continues to this day through the Ford Motor Company's engine plant, established in 1998.
In terms of finance, Bedford has a well-established history, being home to Lloyds Bank for over one hundred years. Bedford is also home to the world's first green financial centre — The Climate Bonds Initiative, which launched back in 2010. In another innovative move, it was recently announced that Bedford is to become the first town in England to have its own cryptocurrency, called BED Coin, in 2020. This will allow easier and faster payments and provide incentives to local businesses to innovate.
Finally, Bedford's history of motorsport is evident in the local landscape. The town is home to the famous Bedford Autodrome, one of the oldest motor racing courses in Britain, where the famous Bedford Autodrome Stages take place each year. The annual Bedford Autodrome Track Days also offer a chance for enthusiasts to experience the thrill of racing cars around the track.
In terms of population, Bedford has an estimated population of around 87,000. It is a diverse area, with a median age of 39 and a lower than average unemployment rate of 4.4%. The median weekly income for those in work is £606, which is slightly higher than the UK average.
In conclusion, Bedford is an important hub for the car industry, finance sector and motorsport. With its historical buildings, stunning scenery and growing range of business opportunities, it has a lot to offer residents, visitors and investors alike. From its humble beginnings as a market town, Bedford has grown to become an important centre for a variety of businesses and industries, and its links with car manufacturing, finance, and motorsport make it an exciting place to visit or do business in.
