The White Horse pub, Bedford
Located in Newnham Avenue at the junction with Rosamond Road.
In the late 1960s/early 1970s, this pub was popular with students from the nearby Bedford College of Education (now University of Bedfordshire), as the college had no bar of its own at the time.

Goldington Road, Bedford, 1971
The view is taken from the 8th floor of The Tower - student accommodation at the (then) Bedford College of Education. Goldington Road is from bottom left to top right. The road on the right is Polhill Avenue, and opposite at the junction is Newnham Avenue. It was probably a Sunday, as there is so little traffic and no people about.

Bedford College of Education, 1972
This was the Bedford Teacher Training College, seen here from the junction between Polhill Avenue and Goldington Road. The college opened on this site in about 1966. The central block in this picture and the tower were student accommodation. The car is an MG 1100. My room was on the left on the 8th floor of the tower. Views from my room: Image] and Image
The college has now become part of the University of Bedfordshire, and the trees have grown a lot!
