More Information on Bury St Edmunds
Bury St Edmunds gets its name from the old germanic word ‘burg’ meaning ‘fortress’, while ‘St Edmunds’ refers an to Anglo-Saxon king-made-saint called Kind Edmund who repelled viking invasions in the South-East. So the town’s name translates to ‘Fortress of Saint Edmund’, funnily enough making the colloquial name of the town; Bury, literally mean ‘Fortress’. Although the town has not been a fortress for over a thousand years, and has served as a market town since medieval times.
For notable features the town is home to the lowest road in all of Britain, the A1101, which rarely rises above sea-level, and the lowest point on the road is 5 metres below sea-level!
The town also has an extensive tunnel network running under it, which is believed to have been used to mine chalk, although there are no tunnels under the old town centre, some buildings having inter-linked basements. It is still technically possible to move between some buildings via underground tunnels, a feature in the town that was exploited greatly during both World Wars, and saved many people from being buried under rubble.
