Universal Studios has said it is "exploring" the possibility of building a park and resort on a former brickworks site in Bedfordshire.

Universal Destinations and Experiences said it had purchased 480 acres of land at Stewartby as it was "always looking at new locations around the world".

It was in the "early stages of exploring its feasibility".

The land has had planning permission for 1,000 homes, but they were not built.

A spokeswoman for the company behind Universal Studios said: "We recently acquired land in Bedford and are at the early stages of exploring its feasibility for a potential park and resort at this site.

Well, if the houses aren't going to be built, I guess this is as good a land use as any!
