Bury St Edmunds buildings [269]
This modern eyesore of a building in Parkway is a multi-story car park.
Much of the centre of the town has suffered from redevelopment and most buildings are later than the mid 19th century. There are some uninspiring modern buildings along Parkway and the Arc shopping centre is particularly ugly, especially the building occupied by Debenhams.
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.

Parkway on a misty evening
It is not obvious in this view but beyond the car park, beyond the hedge, there is a dual carriageway, named as Parkway, before the row of new buildings. It was supposed to be a cinema with some shops attached but it seems more like fast food row with cinema attached.
