More about this scene
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.
