Bedford is the county town of Bedfordshire, set on the River Great Ouse, and has one of the most diverse populations of any English town, including a long-established Italian community that arrived to work in the local brickworks after the Second World War. Brickmaking, engineering and brewing were traditional industries; Wells and Co, formerly Charles Wells, still brews in the town. Today Bedford's economy leans on services, logistics, engineering and education. The University of Bedfordshire has a campus in the town, and Cranfield University, known for aerospace, engineering and management, is a short drive away near the Milton Keynes border. The A421 and nearby M1 make the area a strong location for distribution and manufacturing, and the large new settlement at Wixams, to the south, is bringing new homes and businesses. The planned East West Rail line is expected to improve links to Oxford and Cambridge. Bedford's fast trains to London St Pancras support a large commuter population and professional firms in the town centre.
