Felmersham and
Radwell are two north Bedfordshire villages which together form
the parish of Felmersham and Radwell.
|
 |
This book looks back into the past of these two Ouse Valley
villages using old photographs and drawings. Naturally it
cannot give the full story of Bygone
Felmersham and Radwell but it does give the reader a tantalising
glimpse into the past.
In many instances it also compares photographs of how the parish
looked in the
past with photographs taken in the first decade of the twenty
first century. |
