Lower Sundon Fields Destined for Housing and New Main Road

Central Bedfordshire Council has given themselves planning permission to construct a new road between M1 J11 and the A6 North of Luton. The land between the new link road and the current edge of Luton's built-up areas of Sundon Park, Marsh Farm and Bramingham - is expected to be filled with 3,000 to 4,000 new homes.



My photographs were taken in January 2020.

Houghton Hall Park 2014 Animated Gifs Part 4


Back in 2014, Houghton Hall Park had not been touched by the Heritage Lottery Fund Regeneration Project. I was interested in Photosynth, a project of Microsoft's since abandoned. Many pictures were taken, uploaded to Photosynth, which then did its magic and created oddly flowing videos.
