Die knapp über 100.000 Einwohner zählende Großstadt Bedford (englisch/keltisch für „Birkenfurt“) ist das Verwaltungszentrum des Borough of Bedford und die Hauptstadt der englischen Grafschaft (county) Bedfordshire.

Lage und Klima

Die etwa 35 m hoch gelegene Siedlung Bedford wurde an einer Furt am Fluss Great Ouse gegründet; die heutige Stadt liegt ca. 80 km (Fahrtstrecke) nördlich von London, die Nordsee ist ca. 100 km (Luftlinie) entfernt. Das Klima ist eher kühl; Regen (ca. 600–800 mm/Jahr) fällt übers Jahr verteilt.[1]

Bevölkerung

Jahr 2001 2011 2021
Einwohner 82.467 87.631 97.241[2]

Das deutliche Bevölkerungswachstum beruht im Wesentlichen auf dem Zuzug von Familien aus dem Umland sowie aus anderen Teilen des Commonwealth. Bedford hat überdies die meisten italienischen Einwanderer in Großbritannien; im Jahr 2000 hatten etwa 10 % der Bevölkerung italienische Vorfahren. Dies ist die Folge einer starken Gastarbeiter-Anwerbung in den frühen 1950er Jahren durch die London Brick Company in den südlichen Regionen Italiens.

Geschichte

Bedford soll die Grabstätte von König Offa von Mercia (reg. 757–796) gewesen sein. Die Stadt erhielt im Jahr 1165 den Status eines Verwaltungsbezirks und ist seit 1265 im Parlament vertreten. Sie war die Heimat und das Gefängnis des englischen Schriftstellers John Bunyan (1628–1688), des Autors von Pilgrim’s Progress.
