Church Square, Bedford

The Church in the name was probably Allhallows, a church which no longer exists. The building across the square was built in the early 1960's and originally housed a supermarket called Fine Fare, which I think was the first supermarket in Bedford, preceding Sainsbury's (who at that time had a small shop on Midland Road, now part of Marks & Spencer's).
