Chequer Square, Bury St Edmunds, Masonic Lodge, interior
Date:
c 1910
Caption:
Interior of the Lodge room, a first floor room ,with windows facing Chequer Square. The room is set out for a meeting of a particular Masonic degree, that of the Holy Royal Arch. It is interesting to note that there are only a handful of chairs set out, some fourteen or so, and this corresponds with the low number of members of the degree at this time, only twelve members in 1900, increasing to twenty one in 1920, being now (2007) nearly one hundred. The small banners are the ensigns of the twelve tribes of Israel, and the larger, at the western end of the room, are those of the Saints, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The chequered square carpet is an essential part of every Masonic Lodge, and it has, as does every item of furnishing and artefact in the Lodge, a particular meaning or symbolism.

Looking east towards Angel Hill from site of the Eastgate. Abbey Precinct Wall on the left. The Old Corner House and shop on the right. There was much protest locally and nationally over the Borough Council's proposal to demolish this house and sell off the historic timber work. Eventually the Council were persuaded to keep the timber work and incorporate it into the new building. Mr Jarman was in the forefront of the protest over the road widening scheme. This series of images were probably taken to provide publicity against the scheme. The block of buildings from here to Cotton Lane were compulsory purchased by the Borough Council and demolished in 1923-4 for road widening.

The three-storey building to the left is the rear of Everard's Hotel, with the urns on the Corn Exchange parapet showing above it. Changes to the buildings in Abbeygate Street enable us to date the image to between 1880, when Barclays Bank was extended, and 1891, when the Alliance Assurance building replaced part of Mr. Kidson's shop (see 1756).

Title
St Mary's Square, Bury St Edmunds, St Mary's Vicarage
Date:
c1900
Caption:
The house is not shown on Warren's map of 1791, and it is believed to date from the first decade of the 19th century. It is possible that the porch was added to designs of Francis Sandys, the architect of Ickworth House, who certainly lived in the square. The property was St Mary's vicarage from 1857-1995.

Title
The Traverse, Bury St Edmunds, Cupola House
Date:
c 1925
Caption:
By 1905 Clarke's brewery had purchased the building. Their alterations included the discovery of the Oak Room in 1906 and replacing the bow windows in 1911. There is no evidence to substantiate the 1907 plaque linking Daniel Defoe with Cupola House. In 1917 Clarke's brewery amalgamated with Greene King to whom the ownership passed until 1992. The motor vehicle parked outside the shop of George Goult, clothier, helps to date the image.

Well Street, Bury St Edmunds, Mr Hooper's house
Date:
nd
Caption:
No 20 Well Street ( Grade 11 Listed ) was occupied by a Mr Hooper, father and son from c1868 to c 1900. Mr William Hooper, senior, was manager of Benjamin Hyam & Sons, clothing manufacturers in Lower Baxter Street. In 1896 the business appears under William Hooper's name and by 1900 son Frederick had taken over both the business and the house. By 1908 Frederick and the firm had disappeared from the Directories. Somehow, the cast iron railings and gate survived the salvage drive of WW1 and are included in the Listings entry.
