Great Bridgeford

Great Bridgeford

Great Bridgeford is a village in Staffordshire, England. It lies on the A5013 and is the point where the B5405 meets the A5013.

The village lies on the West Coast Main Line (London to Glasgow) railway and contains a Post Office, a small shop, a village hall, and two tennis courts.

The railway line at Great Bridgeford was the scene of a major accident and derailment on the evening of 6 June 1932. Four people died and many others were injured in this accident.

Personalities: A notable personality from Great Bridgeford is Natasha Nicholson who recently was accepted to attend the prestigious Trinity College of Music in London as of September 2008.

Another person of repute to emanate from the warm, slippery bosom of this village is Lauren Nicholson. Miss Nicholson reads Law at The University of Warwick, and also implemented the prefect system used at Blessed William Howard High School in Stafford.

I thought I had lost my personality, but it turned out I had just left it behind the ottoman; in the upstairs bedroom.
