Many people found inspiration in the life story and writings of John Bunyan. His story is mirrored in the stories of the people that travelled to Bedford in the wake of the Second World War to work at the Brickworks.
Explore the journey of pride, inspiration and hope made by Bunyan who was imprisoned for his beliefs, alongside the difficult journeys to Bedford made by those who came to work at the Brickworks after the Second World War.
