2017 3rd June - A pleasant wander around Market Day in Bury St Edmunds

[@alanrmurphy]

Lived in Bury for eight years before moving home to Ireland again. Still miss the place. Thing I remember about the market was the guy selling the flowers. "Two pounds a bunch, three bunches for a fiver, aaaaaallll the colors of the rainbow!" :)

Thanks for this. I grew up in Bury, in the nineteen seventies, eighties and nineties. I remember it being, mostly, a bit of a dead duck! Lots better, now, it seems. I think we had one cinema, on Hatter or Whiting Street, Rollerbury, the roller skating centre, by the railway station, on the hill, which I think closed down, one nightclub, near there, in a portacabin, called Reflex, another nightclub, by the Bury Free Press offices, called Vienna, I think, it kept changing, and all the pubs, ofcourse. I particularly remember The Grapes, Cupola House, The Nutshell, or Nuthouse, as we used to call it, The Macebearer, on the Nowton Housing Estate, near the West Suffolk Hospital, The Fox, The Dog and Partridge, The Spread Eagle, The Falcon, The Masons Arms, The Rose and Crown, near the YMCA, Batt House, on Out Westgate Street, The Ipswich Arms, near the railway station, The Linden Tree, The Bushel, The Green Gauge, on the Mildenhall Road Housing Estate, and The Elephant and Castle. They really seem to of revamped the town centre quite nicely. Lots more benches to sit on. I thought that the locals referred to The Apex, or Debenhams, as an egg, due to its shape. Anyway, thanks again. ✌️🥚👍

1:22 Yes, That's Madhur Beri @Tikatonic. Used to be a stud in our college days. Never thought he would turn into a fabulous chef. Visited him last year. Worked on that very same stall for a day. Not just coriander, he can also do a lot with other herbs as well ;).
