Hi Maggs.
Excellent pics of the Abbey and the gardens. Brings back happy memories. I was stationed there many years ago. Is that the Angel Hotel in one of the pics? It also looks like the town centre has changed a bit but I guess that's progress. Good to see the old place again. Thanks Maggs

Yes it is 'The Angel' chocks. I am glad that your liked the photo's and that they brought back good memories. The town has changed a little, but not so much as to spoil it. The new shops are small and in no way over power that lovely little town.

I think the Big Supermarkets were out side the Town when we last visited near the A14:)

Did you visit where the Cattle maket was because some new building was going on there under protest:)

Yes Alf, the cattle market is now a big car park. The shops are fine, nothing overpowering or out of keeping. I can be critical of shopping centres and Malls, but was impressed with this. We will see what happens in the future though.
 
Yes Tom it shows what a council can do when they care for their people and their City:)
 
Couldn't put a photo.on before,but I used Alf's magic resizer,and here you are.Those very nice people.
 
Yes Ray it works and a very nice photo

I did notice the Brewery's but I knew the lads would spot it.:)
 
I tried both the local breweries Alf... excellent.A good part of Bury St.Eds.seems to be one huge gourmet restaurant,very pleasing to an "hungry horace"( what my dad called me when I was a child).
 
The "Nutshell" is a bit tiny,nice though,it's always packed six people fill it.
Oh and the beer is good.
 
Hello Ray Barrett,

Nice picture of you, Maggs. and Colin. Never been to Bury St. Edmund's, looks a nice place to visit/ Miriam.
 
Don't know how I missed this thread but what lovely photo's Maggs and Ray. Have never been to Bury St.Edmunds but it looks a lovely place and so clean. The tiniest bar too. Jean.
