Title
Northgate Street, Bury St Edmunds, Traction Engine accident
Date:
c1870s
Caption:
A traction engine crashed into a building on the east side of Northgate Street near the junction with Mustow Street and Angel Hill. The shop with the blind on the extreme left is the clock and watchmakers business of Alfred E Tollady at no 116. Number 117 is sometimes listed as a Beerhouse also run by Mr Tollady. By 1879 Tollady had moved his business to no 27 Hatter Street, so the date would be in the 1870s. The street numbering has been changed since then so it is difficult to identify the exact site, but no 117 could have been repaired and still stand as nos 123-4 with the shop replaced by the modern flats at nos 121-2. Alternatively, the buildings could have been demolished to make way for Thingoe House.
