Join our Blue Badge Guide, Stephen Moody, as we explore Sudbury's Victorian townscape, which underwent seismic change during the 19th Century. During the Victorian period (1837-1901) the town of Sudbury saw many changes, from the coming of the railway, to mass building clearance in the 1840s as a result of the Town Improvement Act (1826). This tour explores how the built environment changed as a result of massive societal and political shift during this era.
