History
Shortstown was purpose-built in the 1910s for workers at the Cardington airship works established by Short Brothers, with the colossal airship sheds becoming local icons. The R101 tragedy in 1930 marked a turning point, but RAF Cardington continued to shape the area through the mid-20th century. Planned streets, red-brick houses and garden-suburb principles give Shortstown a distinctive, cohesive character, blending aviation heritage with a community laid out to serve Britain’s early airship ambitions.
