The life and times of former Bury St Edmunds mayor James Floyd (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Bury St Edmunds historian and author Martyn Taylor looks more closely at the life and times of James Floyd. Recently I wrote an article on the chemists in Bury St Edmunds, one of these was James Floyd, who traded from number 15, Cornhill. After this article I was kindly sent by a reader of the BFP an advert for Floyds Pig Powders. These were sold so the advert said at 2s 6d for three or 1s singular and promised to promote fattening and immunity from various ailments. This prompted me to think; I
A look back at the mills of Bury St Edmunds (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A beautiful sight - flour mills are a distant memory for many of us. Historian Martyn Taylor takes a look at those which have graced Bury St Edmunds. A post mill was the earliest type of windmill. Its defining feature was that the entire wooden body which houses the milling machinery and sails, balances and rotates on a single massive vertical post. This allows the entire building to turn and face changing winds. The first mention of a post mill in Bury St Edmunds was recorded in 1191. This was

Read excerpt
Historian and author Martyn Taylor casts his expert eye over one of Bury St Edmundsâ oldest streets - Hatter Street. Possibly one of the oldest streets in Bury St Edmunds, Hatter Street has cellars going back centuries. During medieval times it was known as Heathenmens Street, the Jewish quarter of the town.

The many businesses which called Bury St Edmundsâ Brentgovel Street home (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The name Brentgovel supposedly means burnt ground, the street running from Risbygate Street until it meets Looms Lane in Bury St Edmunds. Many changes have taken place here over the years from when it was a major through road for the town with the Eastern Counties Omnibus Station situated slap bang in the middle. This is gone, a McDonalds now on the site. The only vestige of the bus station is its clock sitting proudly at the side of Hair: His & Hers. Opposite here was the wonderful Art Deco cin
How this building went from an inn to a political HQ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the Abbeyâs Sacrist rental of 1433, part of Crown Street in Bury St Edmunds was known as Churchgovel Street, that is on the east side from the Norman Tower to St Maryâs Church. It is most probable that the name of Crown Street came into being around 1519. This building at 44, Crown Street, has a late 17thC core and was once the Three Tuns Inn, a tun being a brewerâs large beer barrel, capacity around 216 imperial gallons. The inn is mentioned in a reference of 1741 to what was possibly
