HIGH ST.

1910

Step back into the bustling Edwardian heart of Bedford in this evocative street scene from 1910. Horse-drawn carts, bicycles, and pedestrians jostle for space on a busy High Street, where shop windows display their finest goods and ornate clocks hang proudly above chemists, cafés and general stores.

The signage, elegant façades, and lively street life reveal a town thriving on trade and community spirit, just on the cusp of modern transformation. Look closely and you’ll spot hats of every fashion, from straw boaters to wide-brimmed Edwardian bonnets — a snapshot of a society in motion.
