Westgate House, Bury St Edmunds, Westgate Street

Caption:
From at least 1836 until June 1866 this was a private school run by Sarah Ann Winkfield. Edward Greene, brewer, purchased the property in 1865 and, following the transfer of the school, had it rebuilt in 1866. Westgate House now became the town house of Edward Greene M.P. and was occupied in turn by members of the Lake family, also partners in Greene King Brewery. Sometime between 1916 and 1925 the Lakes moved out of the building, which was subsequently used by various departments of the West Suffolk County Council, eventually becoming Peatling and Cauldron, wine merchants in the 1960's.
