Sign of the times, new aerial for digital TV
Last week the digital TV switch-over started in this area, with BBC2 switched off. The aerial used to be mounted in the roof and receive just 4 analogue channels from a repeater transmitter on the sugar factory. We were advised that we needed new equipment for digital transmissions, and it would be better to add a tall mast and get the signals from the main transmitter at Tacolneston, providing all the Freeview channels right away. Here the shiny new aerial glints in the sun.

Trinity Mews from demolition site
The demolition of the Opus Cars site has created an opportunity for a much better view of the flats of Trinity Mews. Block 1 in the middle, 2 on the left, and 5 on the right (the others are hidden).
The entrance to the site, on the left, has become a popular free parking spot. This is one of the nearest spots to the town centre providing free parking, on or off the road.
Some years ago this site was to be used for an Aldi store and hotel, but the latest rumour is a Lidl store.

Graffiti caricature, Tayfen Road
A lot more original than a tag, I wonder if it is a self portrait?
On the right we see the junction of Springfield Road, Tayfen Road and Parkway.
The building is part of the disused Opus cars site, and according to rumour is home to squatters, though I could see no sign of that.

Fire Station, Bury St. Edmunds
Off Parkway. While this road provides good road access in most directions, the position at the bottom of a long hill seems odd, when sites could have been found at the top.
This is at least the third Fire Station in Bury St. Edmunds - a town centre building still carries the carved stone marking. A later one in Fornham Road was demolished for housing.
Note the decorative flower baskets - Bury is a repeat winner in the Britain In Bloom contest.
