Other day on way back from work
Howard House This property was purchased by in 1757 John Howard, the famous prison reformer and man of Cardington (though then living at St.Paul's Churchyard, London), for £220.10s.
Cardington station (remains) and Airship Sheds, 1987. View SW, across the former ex-Midland Bedford (right) - Hitchin (left) line. The line was closed to passengers from 1/1/62, but may have remained open for goods until 1969. The station seems to be well preserved, still overshadowed by the Airship Sheds.

9/10 Wonderful! (1,491 reviews)
The hotel is perfectly positioned, right next to the shopping centre and a multi-storey car park. My only criticism would be the gym, which is tiny and poorly equipped.
