Bungay, Market Place 1951

More about this scene
A year after a fire razed most of Bungay to the ground in 1688, the Butter Cross was built to commemorate it. It is a pretty octagonal building with a dome surmounted by a figure of Justice; a cage underneath was used to hold the local felons to public ridicule, although by the time this photograph was taken, it was no longer in service! The board standing up against one of the pillars is offering a circular tour of Southwold and Lowestoft.
