North Court nursing and residential home Northgate street Bury St.Edmunds Suffolk.

This rather unusual building at 109 Northgate Street is known as The Clock House and appears to be as much commercial as residential. 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.

This can be found on the roadside wall of a building (Falconbury) in Northgate Street, Bury St Edmunds. For more detail see : http://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm10750

The school moved long ago. This is a strange mix of grand entrance and factory unit.

Judging by the start of the downpipe, there must be some kind of facia in front of the roof. Also odd is the brickwork of the house front which has lots of strange steps and joins.

Number 110 Northgate Street, now known as Regent House and used as offices, was built as a house in the early or mid 18th century and subsequently became the main block of the West Suffolk Grammar School and later The West Suffolk College of Further Education. Later extended on both sides with the northern extension now occupied as apartments.
