Telephone line creeper
On the western side of Springfield Road. The neighbouring houses are Nelson Villa and Trafalgar Villa, which may be a clue to their age. But the terraces further down the road are dated 1896 to 1900.

![Bury St Edmunds buildings [270]](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/06/70/47/6704751_14328e46_120x120.jpg)
Bury St Edmunds buildings [270]
This modern building in Parkway is a fire and ambulance station opened in 1987.
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.

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.
