Pump Lane, BURY ST. EDMUNDS, IP33 1HN

On the north side of Pump Lane is this 100 yard length (82 metres) of high red brick garden wall, partly 18th century, partly 19th century. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1244881 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.

The building housing numbers 9, 10 and 11 Northgate Street is complex with overlapping between numbers 9 and 10. Originally one house, part timber framed, part flint walled, now divided into three. The front range of number 9 is 14th century and was part of an open hall. Alterations and extensions took place in the 15th, 17th and 18th centuries. The division into three took place in 1823 when the building was refronted in white brick and the front range of number 11 was rebuilt. There are some fine internal features.
