Lorry parking
Looking up Rougham Road, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, at lorries parked up for the night. At the top of the hill is a purpose built lorry park, I can only think it's full.

Sparhawk Street runs from Honey Hill via the open space of St Mary’s Square to Southgate Street which leads to Southgate Green, the site of the town’s Southgate and where St Petronella’s Hospital was located, established in the 12th century for the treatment of female lepers. The area is rich in history and has a great variety of 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.

Golf practice area
This is one corner of the golf practice area. On the far left of the photo, just the other side of the fence, it's just possible to make out some archway like structures, where the 'marksmen' stand. The car to the right of the photo is an old Ford Escort, which no doubt has many balls in it. The high fence stops most balls escaping, but there are a few on the path outside the fence.
