The Cardington airship hangers dominate the north Bedfordshire skyline. Built in the 1920s, they are still in use - one as a fire research centre and the other to develop airships.

I used to live down the road from the hangers about 10 yrs. ago. I had heard a ghost story about the hangers and would like to know where I could find some more info. Thank you. Prudence Powell
