The anchors have staying power. The council’s 2009 health check counted 35 premises with two vacant and called Morrisons the largest national store and a major employer within the town; sixteen years later the store still trades seven days a week on the High Street. Shefford Building Supplies, incorporated in 1973, keeps its registered office at 44 High Street. And the Community Market sets up between Morrisons and the High Street on the second Saturday of every month, up to 36 stalls from 9am to 1pm. None of this is glamorous. All of it is the texture of a town centre that works.

There is a second Shefford most visitors never see. Old Bridge Way, just south of the centre, is the town’s industrial address, where Drive Lines Technologies, incorporated in 1992, keeps its registered office. That makes Shefford a two-market town: a consumer high street and a business-to-business estate, and the two need different pages aimed at different searches. Bundling both into one generic website is the commonest local marketing mistake we see, and the easiest to fix.

The claim to retire is that RAF Henlow has closed, or is about to any minute. The most recent Commons answer we can find, from January 2024, says the Ministry of Defence continues to work towards closure and disposal from 2026, and the RAF’s own contact page still lists the station. It is also not in Shefford: the address is Henlow, SG16. Both details are easy to get wrong in local copy, and exactly the kind of thing local customers clock. We source before we publish.
