I worked at Bowhill Elliot and White shoe store at the top of The Walk in 1960 Every morning I walked through here to go to work. I still e-mail a friend who worked at Turners Photography also in The Walk. We were like a family in The Walk, greeting each other every day, and going to lunch.

The shoe shop at number 44 was Thomas Alderton and Son, shown on the 1871 census as the family living there, presumably above the shop, it was still there in 1985 with the original street frontage, is it there now?

Bury St Edmunds Town and City Memories
This is all that remains of the magnificent west front of the Abbey, now reduced in height and stripped of its facing stone. The outline of the three main entrance arches marks the centre of the building. The front would have been twice as high with turrets on the end towers, and with a massive central tower and spire, probably three times the height of the Norman Tower. Beyond the ruins are open countryside and woodland. Since 1979 the town has expanded over the area of Moreton Hall, stretching towards Great Barton and Rougham.

Bury St Edmunds Town and City Memories
This tower was built between 1120 and 1148 as the main entrance to the Abbey, the churchyard and the two parish churches. It was also the belfry for St James’s. It was flanked by the high Abbey precinct wall, and the arched entrance with supporting towers formed a porch.

Bury St Edmunds Town and City Memories
On market days, Wednesday and Saturday, there are about 100 stalls trading in the Butter Market and Cornhill. Bury is one of the most thriving traditional markets in England. In the 18th century there were at least 18 inns around the market place. One of the last to survive was the Suffolk (right), formerly the Greyhound, which was rebuilt and renamed in 1833. The ground floor was again rebuilt in 1873, including the round arched windows, which were retained after its closure in 1996 when it was converted into two shops.
