Residents of Bedford are known as “Bedworthians.”

HISTORY

Of Saxon origin, the 18th and 19th centuries saw Bedworth transform into an industrial town thanks to the presence of coal mining, as well as the influence of the ribbon weaving and textile industries from nearby Coventry.

The growth of the town was also enhanced by the opening of the Coventry Canal in 1769, as well as the railway in 1850.

Bedworth was primarily a coal mining town, but in 1994, the last colliery closed down.

The town was known as “Black Bedworth” in the middle of the 19th century due to the number of public houses frequented by thirsty miners.

Now, Bedworth is mostly a dormitory town thanks to its close proximity to Birmingham, Coventry and Leicester.
