Biggleswade: Stratton Business Park: Saxon Valley Foods

This is the factory of Saxon Valley Foods at the end of Montgomery Way, viewed from the public footpath from the A1. The pile of bricks is all that remains of the South End Farm shown on the Ordnance Survey mapping and demonstrates the continuing change of use of the countryside. Saxon Valley Foods is a chilled prepared food manufacturer owned by the Icelandic Bakkavör Group.

Biggleswade: Stratton Business Park: Jordans

All too often when walking past the premises of some famous brand name the odour can be anything but the smell you would associate with the product. Not so here, where the aroma drifting out from the Jordans factory was positively salivating! This factory is where Jordans actually manufacture their breakfast cereals to the tune of about 1,000,000 boxes a week. At the moment Jordans is more or less on the edge of the development of the Stratton Business Park, but the Heras fencing in the foreground and the waste ground beyond indicate that this plot is earmarked for development too.

Biggleswade: Stratton Business Park: Taygroup

This large building is so new that it does not appear on any current Ordnance Survey maps at any scale available on the internet. Taygroup plc are a warehousing and distribution company and this warehouse covers about 13,800 square metres. It is at the end of Market Garden Road off Pegasus Way.

Biggleswade: Footpath near Stratton Farm

This footpath leads away from Stratton Farm through a shelter belt of young trees, mainly oaks here. Stratton Business Park is to the left beyond the trees while the arable farmland of the farm is visible to the right.

Biggleswade: Footpath near Top Field Farm

This footpath leads along the eastern side of the shelter belt between Stratton Business Park to the left beyond the trees and set-aside land to the right.

Biggleswade: Saxon Pool & Leisure Centre

The near building houses an 8 lane 25 metre swimming pool with a separate learners' pool. The nearby lifebelt stand is not for the pool (!) but for a deep pond off to the left which may be a remnant of an old moat in Stratton Park.

Biggleswade: The Saxon Centre

Not, as might be inferred from its title, a repository for recording Biggleswade's history and heritage, but a local shopping centre. Spar and TGF Pizza are prominent occupiers of the retail space.
