There are no shops, pubs or school in Tempsford today, though this was not always the case. Here, and much altered, the pink building, built 1860s, was the village shop, which opened in 1905 and closed in 1989. The front garden area of white house is the site of The Black Horse pub dating back to 1837. The present house, built in 1933, was also The Black Horse pub, in which the last pint was pulled in 1967. The yellow brick cottages beyond were the home and premises of the village blacksmith, which was in business from the late 19th century into the 1960s.
