Sugar factory in the sun
A small part of the Bury St. Edmunds sugar factory is displayed at its best with a bright sun and blue sky. The wind is in the prevailing direction, spreading the distinctive smell over the villages to the East.
That's not smoke by the way - it is a cloud of condensing water vapour.

View across Hollow Road Farm to sugar factory area
Hollow Road heads straight up the middle of the shot, with an industrial estate on the left (East). To the right the Social Club for the sugar factory can be seen overlooking its sports field. The neat bank in the middle ground retains water in a pond, probably for the factory rather than the farm. A road is hidden in the bottom of the valley.

Bury St Edmunds features [33]
Looking across the A143 roundabout under the A14, is this view of British Sugar's factory. The factory started operations in 1924 and has been processing sugar beet grown in Suffolk, Norfolk and Cambridgeshire since. With an Anaerobic Digestion plant constructed in 2016, the plant produces energy in the form of electricity.
North of the town centre Northgate Street and St John’s Street run towards the site of Northgate and the railway station and both streets have many older buildings. In between these two streets is a number of streets irregularly laid out (compared to the medieval grid of the town centre) containing mostly houses and buildings from the 19th century.
Bury St Edmunds is a market town which is the cultural and retail centre for West Suffolk and is known for brewing (Greene King) and sugar (British Sugar). There is scattered evidence of earlier activity but essentially Bury St Edmunds began as one of the royal boroughs of the Saxons and a monastery was founded which became the burial place of King Edmund. A new Benedictine abbey was built in 1020 which became rich and powerful and the town was laid out on a grid pattern by Abbot Baldwin. After the dissolution the abbey became ruinous. A new church, later the cathedral, was begun in the early 16th century.
