Another one bites the dust!

5 Eastwood Cottages Manor Road has been sold to (we assume) Universal for £315,000 on 30th May 2025!

So that is officially Annex 1, 2, 3 and 5 Manor Road that we can confirm sold and Vine Cottages that we strongly believe have been sold to Universal as has Silverdale across the road but that's probably a bit to soon for the data to appear.

I think number 1 remains, can Wandering Northerner add anything to this? He is our local Manor Road housing expert.

The crop on the land at Universal Studios in the UK has been cut and baled. This could be the last crop we ever see on this land before the planting of roller coaster seeds takes place in 2026 and beyond. Fun fact, planting ball bearings in your garden will not grow a roller coaster.

Hello to the chap who pulled over earlier, asked if I was Project Universal and shook my hand. It was nice to meet you albeit a slightly weird experience. 😂

Bedford has so much potential. Universal Studios is going to fit right in 👍

Hi everyone, I have been working on expanding Project Universal to cover the wider Bedford area through a brand-new page — Project Universal Xtra. If you’re a local, or simply curious about how our town will grow in the coming years, make sure to give it a follow.

Project Universal will focus only on the park itself and infrastructure directly linked to it.

Project Universal Xtra will cover the wider Bedford area, where Universal’s arrival is set to spark major investment, new businesses, and exciting expansions.

Bedford is on the brink of a boom — and you won’t want to miss it. 🚀

Give the page a follow if you are interested in watching Bedford grow with Universal Studios coming to town! -
