We wish to thank Ray Wardleworth and Roger Gurney,
originally from Lidlington, who have very kindly loaned Lidlington
Online original photographs from 1955. Reproduction is not permitted

Just a short walk from Lidlington the Midland main line from
Bedford to London St. Pancras passes by Millbrook village and
enters the north portals of Ampthill tunnel. This was a good spot
for photography with tunnels, bridges and embankments...
