Petticoat Lane from junction
This junction is usually known as the Green Ace junction, from the garage just to the right (east), although pub goers call it the Spread Eagle junction, from the premises on the left. It is infamous for its very slow traffic light cycle.

Bury St Edmunds features [45]
At the junction of Vinery Road and Out Westgate stands this Ouida memorial. Erected in the early 20th century it takes the form of a drinking trough with a rectangular stone column and two bronze figures. Plaques read 'Ouida. Louise De La Ramee'; 'Born at Bury St Edmunds January 1st 1839, died at Vareggio, Italy, January 25th 1908. Her friends have erected this fountain in the place of her birth. Here may God's creatures whom she loved assuage her tender soul as they drink. Curzon of Kedleston.'; 'This memorial was erected from funds subscribed by readers of the Daily Mirror and by friends and admirers in all parts of the world.': Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1365860
Westgate Street is the southernmost street of the medieval grid and it is mainly about the Greene King Brewery with so many of the buildings constructed for its processes or for its employees. In addition to the brewery there is a rich mix of historic buildings in diverse materials, including white brick, red brick and stucco render. The street has the only surviving intact Regency theatre.
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.
