These buildings are now derelict, but around the 1960 - 1970 period, this was a testing facility for checking the growth of pigs from weaning to slaughter. I have some very good memories of this place, it is so sad to see it now. Update. July 24 2015, Biggleswade Chronicle reports. Plans for a new care home, a new lower school and 116 new homes were approved by Central Beds Council for this site.
