Woodside, Bedfordshire
The superficial geology is clay with flints, deposited in the Quaternary and Neogene Periods.[1] It is probable that the settlement was established in the early Middle Ages through clearing the northern end of Caddington Wood by squatters seeking land outside Caddington Manor (hence the name "Woodside" and its linear shape).The squatter development of Woodside continued into the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.[4] Today, Woodside forms part of the Slip End civil parish (where the 2011 Civil Parish population was included), and is located directly southwest of the M1 motorway.The motorway acts as the border between Woodside and the large town of Luton.
