Linslade
Area of Leighton-Linslade, Bedfordshire, England
About
Linslade is an area in the civil parish of Leighton-Linslade, in the Central Bedfordshire unitary authority area of Bedfordshire, England. The original village was at Old Linslade on the banks of the River Ouzel. A new settlement called Linslade grew up a mile to the south of Old Linslade in the 19th century, particularly following the opening of Leighton Buzzard railway station there in 1838. Linslade now forms part of the urban area of Leighton Buzzard.
Linslade and Leighton Buzzard were administratively separate urban districts until 1965, when Linslade was transferred from Buckinghamshire to Bedfordshire and merged with Leighton Buzzard to become Leighton-Linslade. Linslade remained a part of the Diocese of Oxford until 2008 when it joined Leighton Buzzard in the Diocese of St Albans.
