Photo of Bedford, High Street From Town Bridge 1921

More about this scene

Moving northwards, we cross the Ouse bridge, with the High Street ahead. The buildings on the left of the mid 19th century, and the stucco one on the right, Murkett Brothers, Motor Agents, have been demolished. The former has not been replaced, and the latter is now the 1960s Swan House. Out of picture to the right is the Swan Hotel. The girls certainly would not wheel their bikes in the middle of the road in the 21st century. Note the open-topped bus and the motor cars on the right.
