Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk Stuff You Don't Get Anywhere Else

The Stuff We Can't Fit In Somewhere Else

• Why don't you have a "dogging" section? It's all the rage apparently...
• Ice rink would be good... posibly even a zoo
• I AGREE KEGS IS ALMIGHTY!! COUNTY IS CRAP! ROCK ON KEGS!
• I love all the local bands we have, theyre really good! We discovered miss black america, and so many more!
• An aweson bike spot.(N.B. pedal bikes only!) AKA the secret trails of Bury St. Edmunds. If you go to the John banks Honda roundabout and go to turn as if you were going to John banks garage. Soon after the turning for the garage you will see on the right hand side of the road a little path with a big circular pot in the way. Follow that path to the end and just before you reach the A14 you will see a little mud track. Go down there and follow it, you will see some big jumps. As yet I haven't followed it all the way round so I don't know it goes but I will do soon!
• I think Bury is great and the person who said about gouing to Cambridge is talking a load of shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• Tom Waits (american iconoclast with a jazz/blues background) wrote a song called: "Murder in the Red Barn" a few years ago. Supposedly, it's occured in Bury St. Edmunds a century or so ago. The murder of a vagabond and how his ghost returned to haunt the town.
• hiya!!kegs is sooo not the best skool...i went there but i didnt like it so i swapped and county is way better and always will be!!!!!!!!!!im a wiccan and just cos u think ur a hard nut the persan who sed we should move out of town u are a no body who is a sheep who followes all the cools around wen realy they dont want u there cos ur a sheep....baaaa baaaa baaaaa!!!!
• Its full of freaky hippy people!
• if you get chance, go and visit the Potters house, a Penticostal christain fellowship. Go to one of their concerts at King Edwards School it'll suprise you.
• KEGS is the best school in Bury St Edmunds - AND IT ALWAYS WILL BE !!!!!!!!!
• Bury is perhaps best experienced by day; Ghost stories are everywhere though, and it should prove the centre for any holiday in Suffolk.
• Bookshop category needed! New Saxon Bookshop in Hatter Street is very good - heaps better than the new lacklustre dump in the Buttermarket.
• There is a strong Wiccan base in the area. As a wiccan outsider I found it very hard to be welcomed by others. I would advise other WICCANS TO LIVE ELSEWHERE if they want an easy life. Blessed Be.
• Jacqueline Close and the sinkhole of 1969-70 -- I lived there in 1968-69 and moved just prior to the sinking. Would love to email anyone who knows anything about this. (dridgeb@aol.com)
• RICHARD is now working at REGIS HAIR & BEAUTY SALON above TopShop.
• Bury St Edmunds is great. The cinema is an MGM and we get all the good films first. The Magna Carta was signed in BSE in 1015 or something. The best thing about Bury St Edmunds is the females. All very nice. [What about the males?] The worst thing is the Take That fans.

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
