@ProUniversalUK Never heard of you.

Hey everyone! Just a quick update – this page will be changing its name back to 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝗹. The previous change was a bit of a knee-jerk reaction on my part, and no legal notices were actually involved. I’ve since had some really helpful conversations, and moving forward, as long as it’s clear this is an unofficial community (which it always has been!), we can keep building this amazing space together. I’ll need to wait for Facebook’s 60-day page name change cooldown, which will pass early next month. After that, we’ll be back to normal, just with a few content tweaks to respect our neighbours’ concerns and a few disclaimers sprinkled in here and there. Thanks for sticking around!

Coronation Bungalow which is one of the properties at the Wixams end on Manor Road, the one on the sharp bend, is now showing up as sold. Wandering Northerner, who has a much faster way of following the sales than myself, reported this last year, but generally I wait until the sales show up on the public registery as sold before posting. We know that Universal have made the purchase because of the activity on the property matching others we know have been purchased by Universal, that and Wandering Northerner confirmed that SC Collection Ltd were involved and are one of the companies Universal purchased to aquire the land here in Bedfordshire. That leaves only a handful of residential properties left on Manor Road that are still in private ownership. Photo courtesy of Wandering Northerner. Read more at projectuniversal.uk

@ProUniversalUK Have you changed the name back to project universal mate. Good stuff as its what its all about

One year ago today… everything changed. It’s hard to believe it’s already been 12 months since Keir Starmer and the UK government made the official announcement that Universal Studios UK would be built right here in the UK. That moment didn’t just confirm a theme park — it sparked a whole wave of excitement, imagination, and possibility. What once felt like a distant idea suddenly became real, and we’ve been on this journey together ever since. Over the past year, we’ve seen plans evolve, momentum build, and a passionate community come together around something genuinely special. The conversations, the theories, the shared hype — it’s been amazing to be part of. And the best part? We’re still just getting started. Here’s to one year since that official announcement — and everything still to come 🙌 #UniversalStudiosUK #ThemeParkUK #Bedford #ThemeParkCommunity #ExcitingTimes #FutureIsBright #FBLifestyle Read more at projectuniversal.uk

@TowersStreet @altontowers You'd have thought they had all winter to sort their shit out and be ready for opening. It's going to be a serious shock to their system when Universal gets here in a few years.

When you get a sponsored @altontowers Ad featuring four rides you most definitely won’t be riding this Easter!

Hey everyone! Just got some fresh snaps of the Core Zone at Universal Studios UK. This trench is right along Manor Road, near to Kempston Hardwick train station, and literally opposite the main entrance of the concrete slab. The digger work has paused for now in this part of the Core Zone for now, but the archaeologists are still buzzing around that hole surrounded by the bright orange fencing. 📸 What do you think could be down there? Drop your guesses in the comments! #CoreZone #UniversalStudiosUK #FBLifestyle #UrbanExploration #LocalCuriosity #ConstructionWatch #ShareTheMystery #BedfordDevelopments Read more at projectuniversal.uk

As the sun was out today I filmed a new video that'll be available to watch tomorrow. YouTube members can watch now. youtube.com/playlist?list=…

Wind is picking up fast at the construction site. We're capturing footage now before the weather turns even nastier. Lots of heavy machinery on deck! #Construction #Weather #HeavyMachinery #Filming Read more at projectuniversal.uk

Diggers have been hard at work on the Core Zone at Universal Studios UK this week with work continuing to strip back the topsoil, slowly revealing what lies beneath and uncovering pieces of history hidden under the surface. With the recent dry weather, the ground has firmed up massively, making it much easier for contractors to get stuck in and push things forward. You can really start to see the momentum building now. What’s especially exciting is that over the next month or two, we’re likely to see a shift away from archaeology and into more enabling works — which is when things really start to feel like a theme park build is underway 👷‍♂️ It’s all slowly but surely coming together… and if today is anything to go by, things are only going to get more interesting from here. #UniversalStudios #UniversalStudiosUK #Bedford #Bedfordshire #ThemeParkConstruction #ConstructionLife #SiteUpdate #COREZone #UKDevelopment #Diggers #Groundworks #EnablingWorks #Archaeology #BehindTheScenes #ThemeParkFans #FutureOfFun #ProjectUpdate #ConstructionUpdate #UKProjects #DevelopmentLife #OnSite #ExcitingTimes #WatchThisSpace Read more at projectuniversal.uk

The Concrete Slab to the left and the Manor Road end of the Core Zone on a beautiful spring afternoon. A digger and a couple of flumper trucks are still busy digging and shifting dirt while some orange jackets are still searching in the dirt looking for treasure. I'm not seeing anymore shadows in this area other than the one we highlighted the other week. 👍 #UniversalStudios #history #archeology #themepark #fblifestyle Read more at projectuniversal.uk

A beautiful spring day over Bedfordshire. I took this image this afternoon from atop of Brogborough Hill, around a mile or so from Junction 13 of the M1 which is directly behind us. We look towards Bedford with the new(ish) A421 bypass to the left which will be the main feed road to Universal from the M1 and the old A421 Bedford Road that eventually is called Woburn Road when it gets closer to Universal to the right. The closest large lake is what I would call Brogborough Lake, then in the distance it Stewartby Lake, you can just make out the wind turbine that you can walk right up to that's placed on the lake. It's quite the interesting noise when standing underneath it. Split Stewartby Lake in half and just to the right of your center point and a little futher away, just a smidge, is the Universal Studios Construction Site. 👍 #A421 #Bedford #M1 #UniversalStudios #fblifestyle #roads #transport Read more at projectuniversal.uk

Taking a look at the latest from the construction site, including a new landing stage. The archaeological work has wrapped up, and we're orienting ourselves with familiar landmarks. #DroneConstruction #SiteUpdate #Archaeology… Read more at projectuniversal.uk
