Bedford has some fantastic walks you can enjoy with your four legged friends and dogs can be a great addition to the family home but they can also make your home a dirtier place. When their dirt gets too much, many pet owners rely on harsh chemicals to clean up after their pets. Sadly there are a lot of people who may be allergic to the ingredients in these products and even some pets will suffer the ill effects of them too. Dogs in particular can develop some rather serious sores and respiratory problems from the use of some of these cleaning products, which could potentially run into many hundreds of pounds in tests and treatments at the vets. Avoid this happening by calling in Splashbacks of Distinction, we can fit a superb quality glass splashback that will not need such harsh chemicals to clean. So if you live in Bedford and you want a little more peace of mind, why not call Splashbacks of Distinction today.
Bedford was founded at a ford on the River Great Ouse, and is thought to have been the burial place of King Offa of Mercia, who is remembered for building Offas Dyke on the Welsh border. Bedford Castle was built by Henry I, although it was destroyed in 1224. Bedford was granted borough status in 1165 and has been represented in Parliament since 1265. The Bedford area is known for its large population of Italian descent.
The name of the Bedford is believed to derive from the name of a Saxon chief called Beda, and a ford crossing the River Great Ouse. Bedford was a market town for the surrounding agricultural region from the early Middle Ages.
The Anglo-Saxon King Offa of Mercia was buried in the town in 796; this is believed to be in his new minster, now the Church of St Paul, or on the banks of the Great Ouse where his tomb was soon lost to the river. In 886 it became a boundary town separating Wessex and Danelaw. It was the seat of the Barony of Bedford. In 919 Edward the Elder built the towns first known fortress, on the south side of the River Great Ouse and there received the areas submission. This fortress was destroyed by the Danes. William II gave the barony of Bedford to Paine de Beauchamp, who built a new, strong castle.
Bedford traces its borough charter in 1166 by Henry II and elected two members to the unreformed House of Commons. The new Bedford Castle was razed in 1224 and today only a mound remains. From the 16th century Bedford and much of Bedfordshire became one of the main centres of Englands lace industry, and lace continued to be an important industry in Bedford until the early 20th century. In 1660 John Bunyan was imprisoned for 12 years in Bedford Gaol. It was here that he wrote The Pilgrims Progress.
The River Great Ouse became navigable as far as Bedford in 1689. Wool declined in importance with brewing becoming a major industry in the town. The 19th century saw Bedford transform into an important engineering hub. In 1832 gas lighting was introduced, and the railway reached Bedford in 1846. The first corn exchange was built 1849, and the first drains and sewers were dug in 1864.
