The Bedford (Kempston) site is located behind the Interchange Retail Park to the SW of the county town. The station transmits AM radio from a directional array consisting of the active mast radiator and a sloping ladder wire reflector which is supported by the mast and descends diagonally to a reflector tuning unit on the ground. It can just be seen to the right of the mast in our first photo, but is seen more clearly in those below:

The brick-built transmitter cabin houses the broadcast transmitters. The others hold cellular phone equipment serving aerails on a tower whose base can be seen in this photo.
