Car Park
This is the car park to Aspects leisure Centre. Home to redundant leisure outlets, a cinema and a gym. The people of Bedford were given all this in place of a very fine open air swimming pool.

Now the home to major athletic events. Earlier in its career it only seemed to be used by the local schools!

The Great Ouse in Flood - Boxing Day 2020
Looking west, upstream, from near the footbridge at the junction of Longholme Way and the Embankment. Quite a lot of people out looking, and hoping it won't go much higher.

The Great Ouse in flood
The King's Bridge under repair https://www.bedfordindependent.co.uk/kings-bridge-to-close-for-refurbishment/ overtaken by events. Anticipated to take 6 months, I expect it will now take a lot longer, after being inundated by the Boxing Day flood. At first I thought it was a curtain trailer that had relied on GPS.
