Its time parameters – 1853-71 – are the period of the provincial administration control of migration into New Zealand. The key research questions of this study are: Who migrated to New Zealand during this period and how did the migration affect their life chances? What were the social and economic effects of this migration, particularly on the poorer local families? How did these effects compare with other parish assisted migration in eastern England? Stoke by Nayland in 1851 appears to have been a relatively settled farming community dominated by a few wealthy landowners so emigrants were motivated more by the ‘pull’ of the areas they were moving to than by being ‘pushed’ by high levels of unhappiness ‘at home’.

  • Chambers – Bus Service Changes
    Chambers – Bus Service Changes Chambers have launched a public consultation regarding proposed changes to existing routes and timetables from March 23rd 2020 Many routes will be improved to continue to support our customers with their travel plans. However, there will be some routes where we have had to take the unfortunate decision to withdraw, as they are no longer feasible for them to operate, mainly due to a decline in passenger numbers. If you wish to comment/share your views on our proposed timetable changes. Please contact us by email at [email protected] or you can write to Chambers, Unit 6/7 Stephenson Road, Clacton on Sea, Essex, CO15 4XA. Please send your comments to them no later than Monday 27th January 2020 ********************************************************************************** Route 753 Bury St Edmunds – Sudbury Our buses between Sudbury and Bury St. Edmunds will increase to run twice an hour, with one bus on route 752 running direct from Long Melford via the A134 rather than through Acton and Lavenham. Stanningfield will normally be served by route 752. The first journey in each direction will run slightly earlier that before to allow a bus to arrive in Bury St. Edmunds at 0945 ready for 10 o’clock lectures and morning meetings. The last bus from Sudbury to Long Melford, Acton and Waldingfeld will be at 1823. Recent feedback has showed that many of our existing customers travel from Sudbury go to Bury St. Edmunds or work, shopping and education and that the bus journey is currently quite slow and only runs once per hour.

    HISTORY OF BURES ST. MARY and BURES HAMLET 1830-1914 By following this trail and looking at the remains of the last century's working existence in the village it is possible to make a rough picture of life in Bures. But remains are not enough so imagination will be needed to fill out the documentary evidence on which these notes are mainly based. The end of this period derives from the memories and knowledge of people still living. Starting out journey on Lamarsh Hill, to the left the grandiloquently named Nightingale Hall. [1]. With its little Gothic window apparently an improved 19th century workmanís cottage. In fact a 17th century [or earlier] frame moved up from the brick-yard area before the railway opened in 1849. It stands on the original pre-railway road that led from Water Lane to Lamarsh Hill at this point. Down the hill to Bures Hamlet, in the 19th century the downtown working-class area of Bures St. Mary containing in 1851, all but one of the parish's paupers. On your left a sharp drop into the old brickfield now filled with the modern houses of Maltings Close. Here you have a clear view of the Maltings [2] The Bures Maltings History The Maltings were the most important non-agricultural source of work. This one was built in 1851, two years after the railway opened, and there were four others existing in that year. The Garrad family owned it.
