Waste land, Bedford
Looking from Elstow Road at what I at first thought was old railway land, but looking at old maps, it never really was, although the far side bordered the railway. On a 1901 map only, one siding, probably private, appears across the middle, but no buildings have ever been mapped. Was it some sort of temporary military depot?
