Bury St Edmunds houses [259]
Durley House, number 17 and annex, number 17A Northgate Street are early 19th century with a later 19th century extension to each side, that to the right being number 17A. Built in two parallel ranges with white brick to the front and red brick to the rear. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1022631
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.
