Cornhill, Buttermarket and The Traverse are the commercial heart of the town. Cornhill incorporates the market areas set out in the 12th century where twice weekly markets are held, Buttermarket with The Traverse extend to the south connecting with Abbeygate Street and Guildhall Street. The area has some of the town’s finest and most important buildings.
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.

Sunset clouds over Bury St. Edmunds central square
An unusual view of the town centre around 6pm with few parked vehicles - the shoppers have gone home and the cinema and restaurant customers are not yet here. I think this was a market day, so there are still a few stallholders' vans around for final packing away.
Despite the coloured cloud the view is actually to the East.
The building on the left, with a spire, is Moyses Hall museum - claimed to be the oldest intact house in the UK. The building beyond that carries a date several centuries back. Starbucks and M&S are clearly younger. The war memorial is for the "South African" (Boer) War.
