The airship sheds at Cardington, Bedfordshire

Cardington, Bedfordshire

Cardington is a village in the midst of Bedfordshire, in the Wixamtree Hundred.

The village is best known for its connection with the great days of the airships: the Cardington Airship Works were founded here by Short Brothers during the First World War, and the huge airship sheds are a dominant feature. The site later became an RAF training station. Shortstown and the RAF station lie southwest of Cardington itself. (Read more)
