Cardington station (remains) and Airship Sheds, 1987
View SW, across the former ex-Midland Bedford (right) - Hitchin (left) line. The line was closed to passengers from 1/1/62, but may have remained open for goods until 1969. The station seems to be well preserved, still overshadowed by the Airship Sheds.

Cardington Hangars 1 and 2
The view South to the massive, brooding airship hangars at Cardington near Bedford. Over 800 feet in length, 180 wide and over 150 high. The hangars built to construct and house Britain's airships of the 1920's and put to a number of uses in more recent years. Hangar 1 (the closest in this photo) is currently undergoing a large renovation project to repair and re-clad.

Cardington Airship Hangars
Viewed from the east. See Image for excellent description and links.
The nearer shed is No.2 shed. From 1970 onwards it was leased by the Fire Research Station (based in Borehamwood, Herts) as a large scale test facility, where fires could be lit in relatively still-air conditions. It eventually became part of the Building Research Establishment, which became BRE Ltd. in 1997, when privatised out of the civil service. No.2 hangar is in much better condition than No. 1, as it was completely reclad in the late 1980s.
