A view looking south standing on the old up fast platform of Bedford Midland station that had closed in October 1978 to be replaced by a new station slightly further north and west of this spot. Looking back now, it seems remarkable that we were able to wander around with impunity on a closed station that was in the throes of demolition! Notice the Charles Wells advertisement next to a covered up station clock. Charles Wells remains a local brewer to Bedford that first started making beer in the town in 1876. At the time of writing it has invested further in the town by building a brand new brewery due to open in 2020.
