Blunham
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blunham (TL 150 511) is a village and civil parish in the Mid Bedfordshire district of Bedfordshire, England, about eight miles east of Bedford. The village is just off the A1 road, near Great Barford and Sandy, and is near the confluence of the River Ivel with the River Great Ouse.
At the north of village is an unusual double humpback bridge across the River Ivel and the Mill Stream which must be crossed to enter the village from the A1 road or Tempsford.
Blunham had a rail station on the Oxford to Cambridge railway, the station shut when this line was closed in the 1960's.
A large Corrugated cardboard and paper mill is located near Blunham which belongs to Abbey Corrugated.
