Excellent walk, I use to live there, in 1942, has changed a lot, was very interesting seeing all the streets again, I see some of the shops are still there, thanks for this most memorable film.
Good morning Pauline, I'm so pleased to hear you enjoyed it and it brought back a memory or two. I can quite imagine it must have changed quite dramatically but it's good to hear that some of the shops have survived. Perhaps you might enjoy our Sudbury walk? My Mum grew up there in the 40's and I hope she would have enjoyed seeing it as it is now. All the best to you.
We used to live near Bury St. Edmunds from 1990 to 1993 and thought it was an attractive town, but I think if anything it has improved. This is what all towns should look like, it has kept it's historical buildings and shops and has tastefully added more features, cafes, restaurants and shops. I have noticed that property there has shot up relatively and I can definitely see why. England can really do wonderful villages and towns and Bury St Edmunds must be right up there. It appears that not many units have shut and I can see why. Fabulous walking tour, many thanks.
Hi there @itsallrobbish, how nice of you to drop by and share your memories of when you lived near Bury St. Edmunds in 90's. It's very uplifting to hear you feel it has even improved. It is rather lovely that it has kept it's historical buildings and shops and also has some nice new cafes and restaurants we do agree!! You might also enjoy our walk through Norwich, if that was a place you ever went to? All the best to you.
My dad was stationed here at the airbase called Rougham Tower during WWII. He was a gunner on an American B-17 bomber, doing runs into Germany and bombing manufacturing sites. Visited there with my wife about fifteen years ago and donated his A2 government issue leather jacket and all paperwork related to his induction and service in the US Army Air Corps. Performed in 34 missions, mostly on The Spirit of Valley Forge, winning the Distinguished Flying Cross and Air Medals with Oak Leaf Cluster. So, yeah, I have a deep connection with BSE.
Hello there WJ, thanks for taking the time to connect and share your Dad's experience of being stationed at the airbase Rougham Tower. He sounds like a special man. I hope this walk helped to evoke, some good memories of your visit. All the best to you.
What a lovely town. Many fine old buildings and tremendous range of shops which I hope have survived Covid and inflation Fine monuments and good open spaces
They've opened a Primark, where Debenhams used to be, very recent and great for the town. It's a lovely town and I'm hoping to move there, as my son wants to study at the college there
Hi, we moved here a year ago from Leicester with my work. We love BSE and we moved to Woolpit. When you say infamous are you referring to the story of the green children or are you referring to something else?

That's so cool! Shame the airfield's been closed down for private use now. At least we still have the tower!
Beautiful place loved it
Thanks for visiting Terry!

Lol! I hadn't spotted that. Perhaps his ice cream was camera shy :) Ah enjoy yourself - it's a great little town.
Aah..the sausage and chips rolled up in newspapers(lots of vinegar too!) as an air force brat in 1975.nothing like it! God bless you!

I'm moving here in a few weeks. DId I make the right decision? We fell in love with the place, but that's an outsiders perspective.
Hope the move goes well for you Nozz, look forward to hearing if it was the right move, I'm sure it will be. We loved the town. All the best to you.
We did indeed move here and absolutely love it.
Visit there every month. Fantastic little town bursting with history and also very clean
Don’t forget to visit the Nutshell and a bit out of town there is a wonderfull place called Ravenwood Hall, had a very nice dinner there.
Hey, what date was this video taken?
Hi, this was I believe taken in the late springtime.
I like
thanks for connecting
Isn't this near that infamous village of Woolpit?
That’s right IS, Woolpit is midway between Bury St. Edmunds and Stowmarket.
Hi, we moved here a year ago from Leicester with my work. We love BSE and we moved to Woolpit. When you say infamous are you referring to the story of the green children or are you referring to something else?
@rossspencer6189 No, I am indeed referring to the Green Children story, it's fascinated me for years
I want to be there.....
We’ll we wouldn’t mind being there with you HD. A coffee at 16:30 perhaps?
Yes... very nice!
