Description
Bury St Edmunds at Work: People and Industries Through the Years explores the history of this Suffolk town from pre-industrial beginnings to the present day. From its early days as a wool town to the arrival of new industries such as brewing, engineering, and sugar beet production, the book examines how the Industrial Revolution impacted the town. The book features contemporary photographs and illustrations that showcase the changes in the industrial landscape during the Victorian era, the consequences of rapid urbanisation, and the impact of war. It also looks at the post-war population explosion and the arrival of the London overspill in the 1960s, which brought new jobs and new hopes to the town. Today, Bury St Edmunds is not only an important tourist destination but a desirable place to live and work. This book provides a fascinating insight into the town's evolution over time, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in local history and industry.
