More about this scene

Sited at the critical junction of the A428 Bedford/St Neots, Blunham/Staughtons roads, it is perhaps not surprising to find opportunity for a variety of forms of refreshment. Whether the Golden Cross refers to the pub's position or to its proximity to All Saints Church is unrecorded, but in 1955 it was unusual to find a St Neots brewery supplying this far into Bedfordshire.
