British Sugar Factory, Bury St Edmunds
The British Sugar Factory at Bury St Edmunds was built in 1925. The five huge concrete sugar silos, have a total bulk storage capacity of 70,000 tonnes and are something of a local landmark. The silos hold crystallised sugar manufactured from sugar beet grown in the area (LinkExternal link (Archive LinkExternal link ) British Sugar: About the Bury St Edmunds Factory; pdf file).
