BATG Guided Walks

Bedford’s Movers & Shakers

Departs from the top of St. Loyes Street opposite the prison
at 11:00. You will know of the “mugshot”, but did you know
it was first introduced into the criminal justice system by
Robert Evan Roberts, a reforming governor of Bedford
prison in Victorian times? Join us on this walk and meet
Roberts and others who made a difference in Bedford:
an astronomer, a polar explorer, the first woman county
councillor, and discover how some of the most attractive
private dwellings in Bedford came to grace this area of
the town.
