Between the trees on the left can be seen traffic leaving Bury St. Edmunds on Fornham Road. The line of trees at the back of the field traces the route of the River Lark.

A field with a letter box It is marked Priory Farm, but there is no sign of any human habitation - this is the field also seen in <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2564211">TL8565 : Field at end of Layham Drive</a>. On the other side of the road is the Priory Hotel.

Actually the letterbox has appeared since the Google Street View camera passed by. The gate was intact at that time too.

River Lark passes under Tollgate bridge To the south west of this bridge the road is Fornham Road. To the north east it becomes Thetford Road. The river probably demarcates the border into the parish of Fornham. A public house one field nearer Bury is also called the Tollgate so clearly there used to be a gate on the main road around here. There is no trace of old stonework though.
