In the Middle Ages Bury St Edmunds was a wool-manufacturing town. The Wool Warehouse in St Andrew's Street South, now converted to offices, dates from a later period, 1792, according to this plaque above the gateway. Interestingly, the Star of David appears at the top left of the plaque; the old Jewish quarter of Bury St Edmunds was close to this point, in Hatter Street.
