About Bedford
- Bedford is the birthplace of John Bunyan, the Puritan preacher and writer who composed The Pilgrim's Progress while imprisoned in Bedford Gaol for preaching without a licence — a sentence he served for twelve years between 1660 and 1672. The Pilgrim's Progress, published in 1678, is one of the most widely read books in the English language, translated into over 200 languages and outsold only by the Bible in the centuries following its publication. The allegory of Christian's journey from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City, through places such as the Slough of Despond, Vanity Fair, and the Valley of the Shadow of Death, has entered the English language as a source of metaphors and imagery that are still in common use today. The John Bunyan Museum in Bedford preserves the story of his life and work.
- Bedford has one of the most diverse populations of any town in Britain — a consequence of the large-scale immigration from Italy and the Caribbean that began in the 1950s and 1960s, when the London Brick Company recruited workers from southern Italy and from the West Indies to work in the brickfields of Bedfordshire. The Italian community, which settled primarily in the Kempston area, brought with it a culture of food, family, and Catholic faith that has shaped the character of the town, and Bedford's Italian restaurants and delis are among the best in the East of England. The Caribbean community, which settled in the town centre, has contributed to Bedford's music scene and its annual carnival, which is one of the largest in the country outside London.
- The Embankment in Bedford, a mile-long riverside promenade along the Great Ouse, is one of the most attractive public spaces in the East of England — a tree-lined walk with views across the river to the meadows and the town, used for walking, cycling, and rowing. The river at Bedford has been used for rowing since the 19th century, and Bedford Rowing Club is one of the oldest and most successful rowing clubs in England. The annual Bedford Regatta, held on the Embankment in May, is one of the largest inland regattas in Britain, attracting crews from across the country and drawing large crowds to the riverside.
