The Shambles, St. Edmunds Church and the Town clock. Street markets were held here for many centuries and there has been a butchers shop alongside the Shambles for over 500 years. (The building to the right of the picture). This has been the heart of the town for most of this millennium.
Although some of the shop fronts are modern, many of the buildings in Fore Street are built on medieval structures.
