About Fencing in Biggleswade
Biggleswade is an old market town in Bedfordshire, standing on the Great North Road, the historic route linking London to Edinburgh, where it once served as a busy staging post with inns for changing coach horses on long journeys. The town suffered a great fire in 1785 that destroyed much of its centre, and later grew as a market gardening hub once the railway gave local growers direct access to London's markets.

Types of Materials found in Biggleswade
Biggleswade sits in the River Ivel valley, where river deposits of sand and gravel overlie the chalk and greensand geology typical of this part of Bedfordshire. This generally gives reasonably workable ground for fence post footings in the town itself, with the historic market gardening industry that once thrived here a good indicator of generally fertile, workable soil in the surrounding area. Properties closer to the River Ivel can encounter softer, damper ground than those set back on higher land.
