The Stand
This was I think formerly known as the Charles Wells stand. Now that Charles Wells has joined forces with Youngs Brewery not sure what it's called. This is the stand where you sit - I can't get my head round it either.

Community policing?
It really is a police facility, not a joke - the limited opening hours are on the door, and the window display consists of various useful notices.

Castle Lower School, Goldington Road, Bedford
When I attended this school in the late 1950's and early 60's, it was called Goldington Road Junior School. The Infants school was in the building behind this one.
I remember the headmaster was Mr Mackenzie, and my teacher in my last year was Miss Webb, who managed a class of about 50 children. The years below mine had smaller classes - Brickhill junior and infants schools opened and children were moved to the new school. One of the teachers moved as well, Mr Gunning.
