A little bit of Cranfield hast been commemorated in Silsoe according to the Bedford Times and Citizen. It reports that the former site of the National College of Agricultural Engineering was officially recognised in the unveiling of a plaque at Bloor Homes’ Silsoe Grange development last week. The site was an international centre for agricultural engineering and related disciplines subsequently becoming Silsoe College, part of Cranfield University running from 1963-2009. All teaching, research and consultancy work were transferred to the Cranfield Campus of the University in 2009, when the Silsoe site closed.
Bloor Homes welcomed the former staff members to the site, plus Professor Frank Inns the first member of staff after the Principal, to be appointed to the college in 1962, who officially unveiled the plaque on what is now a brand new development by Bloor Homes.
Vanessa Macnee, Sales Director of Bloor Homes said the plaque was a reminder and tribute to the college, preserving the key part of history that happened in Silsoe.
