Sandy Walk: Town Centre【4K】

Located in the county of Bedfordshire, and around seven miles east of Bedford, is the town of Sandy. The town's unique name alludes to a low range of sandy hills which form part of the Bedfordshire Greensand Ridge. It is believed to have been inhabited from as early as the Iron Age as implied by a series of three hillforts in close proximity. Additionally, it is said to have been Bedfordshire's most important Roman settlement. At the heart of the town is St Swithun's Church. This was founded in the 14th century, although the present edifice was largely rebuilt in 1860. In 1850 the railway arrived in Sandy courtesy of the Great Northern Railway. In 1857 a route to the neighbouring town of Potton three miles to the east was established with the opening of the Sandy and Potton Railway. This was funded and organised by Sir William Peel, son of Prime Minister Robert Peel, and a Victoria Cross recipient for his actions in the Crimean War. Potton station closed in 1968, however Sandy station remains opens to this day, and forms part of the Great Northern Route, which is a series of minor stops on the East Coast Main Line south of Peterborough. Trains to and from central London typically take around 50 minutes. In 1868 the Sandy Show took place for the first time. This annual horticultural event was described, at its peak in the 1920s, as 'the greatest one-day show in England', with guests numbering up to 12,000. 👇 SUBSCRIBE TO 4K EXPLORER FOR NEW VIDEOS EVERY WEEK 👇 https://www.youtube.com/4KExplorer?su...
