The monks of the abbey defined a rectangular street plan for the mediaeval parts of Bury St. Edmunds. Centuries later when the town expanded north of the newly built railway tracks a rectangular plan was again adopted, but some of the roads were left as dirt tracks. Some are little used and overgrown but this one is quite clear - indeed you can see the cars and houses in Fornham Road at the far end in this shot. Does the existence of the bins here imply that the refuse truck passes down the track?
