Dead Pubs of Bedfordshire by local journalist Lloyd Lugsden will appear shortly. A labour of love born during lockdown in 2020, vol 1 lists and describes the many lost pubs in Bedford and North Bedfordshire. A second volume covering Luton, Mid- and South Beds is expected in a few months time. Vol 1 will be launched on Sunday 20 November from 4 to 7pm at the Fox in Carlton , with copies on sale for £6. Later purchases can be made via the book's dead pubs Facebook page.
