The Bedford snakes
Image: © M J Richardson Taken: 7 Sep 2007
A mosaic depicting a map of Bedford and a stylised history of the town, with references to King Offa, a siege, vikings, its mint, the mill and its main streets and churches. The best distant view is from the Castle Mound, but unfortunately the image is upsidedown from that viewpoint - so the one shown is inverted.
