Probably built in the early 19th century, number 60 College Street was once part of the old Town Workhouse complex. The large window on the left suggests that it may once have been used as a shop. College Street is one of the north-south streets within the medieval grid and is a continuation southward of Hatter Street, running from Churchgate Street to Westgate Street. Almost entirely residential but there is a Victorian school at the south end. 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.
