A view looking upwards from the inside of a sugar silo towards the roof structure and conveyor bridge during its construction at Bury St Edmunds Sugar Beet Factory. A sugar factory began operating at Bury St Edmunds in 1924. In 1972 Laing announced they would be building four sugar silos and a new beet handling plant for the British Sugar Corporation at Bury St Edmunds, and in 1981/82 a further 25,000 tonne capacity sugar silo was built.
