Canals
16th century road traffic goods travelled by pack horses or slow moving carrier wagons driven by horses. Marston, Ampthill and Lidlington had carriers.
1811 a public meeting was called by mayor of Bedford he proposed a link between the grand union canal (called grand junction) and Bedford.
Route proposed ran through Wooton, Marston and Lidlington. It would be 14 miles long at a cost of £100,000. £50,000 would raised by local subscriptions the other £50,000 Grand Junction Company would supply. Private support was not forthcoming. Landowners were hostile subscriptions raised only £20,000 pounds so the plan was abandoned through lack of capital
