About Fencing in Bedford
Bedford grew up on the River Great Ouse, first navigable to the town from 1689 after sluices and locks were added to improve the waterway. The writer John Bunyan, author of Pilgrim's Progress, was baptised in a backwater of the river near Bedford Bridge in 1653, and the Great Ouse floodplain to the east of the town is thought to have inspired the Plain of Ease in his famous book.
