It was built in 1925 and processes beet from 1,300 growers.
660 lorry loads of beet can be accepted each day when beet is being harvested.
Not all the beet can be crystallised immediately, and some is kept in solution in holding tanks until late spring and early summer, when the plant has spare crystallising capacity.
The sugar is sold under the Silver Spoon name (the other major British brand, Tate & Lyle, is made from imported sugar cane).
By-products include molassed sugar beet feed for cattle and LimeX70, a soil improver.
Notable people from Bury St Edmunds include artist and printer Sybil Andrews, actor Bob Hoskins, theatre director Sir Peter Hall, artist and water deviner Neil Stalley, author Maria Lousie de la Ramé (also known as Ouida),  World War II Canadian general Guy Simonds and the 18th century landscape architect Humphry Repton, as well as Thomas Clarkson fact-finder behind the abolition of the slave trade.

The United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) was the military aviation arm of the United States of America during and immediately after World War II.
It was the direct precursor to the United States Air Force, established in 1947.
At its peak strength in 1944, the USAAF had over 2.4 million men and women in service, nearly 80,000 aircraft and 783 permanent bases, and operated from more than 2,000 airfields worldwide.
The Air Corps became the Army Air Forces in June 1941 to provide the air arm a greater autonomy in which to expand more efficiently, and to provide a structure for the additional command echelons required by a vastly increased force.
Although other nations already had separate air forces independent of the army or navy (such as the British Royal Air Force and the German Luftwaffe), the USAAF remained a part of the United States Army.

The Salem Witch Trials were a series of county court trials which accused people of being witches.
The Salem Witch Trials involved two kinds of trials.
First, court hearings were held before local magistrates; then trials were held in county court.
The witch trials were held in Essex, Suffolk and Middlesex  Counties of colonial Massachusetts, between February 1692 and May 1693.
In February 1692, two young girls in Salem Village, Betty Parris and Abigail Williams, began twisting themselves into strange shapes and saying words that made no sense.
Betty’s father called a doctor, who said that witches had invaded Salem Village and were  bewitching the girls.
The girls accused people they didn’t like of being witches.
During the Trials, over 150 people accused of witchcraft were arrested and put in jail.
Even more people were accused, but were never formally charged by the authorities.
Twenty-nine people were convicted (or found guilty) of witchcraft, which was a capital felony.
Nineteen of these people - fourteen women and five men - were hanged on Gallows Hill in present-day Salem, Massachusetts.
Another man, Giles Corey, refused to enter a plea of guilty or not guilty.
Authorities tortured him to try to force him to confess or enter a plea.
Corey was crushed to death under heavy stones.
At least five more of the accused died in prison.
The trials were held in Salem.
Accused witches from surrounding areas were brought to Salem to be tried for witchcraft.
The best-known trials were held by the Court of Oyer and Terminer in 1692 in Salem Town.
All twenty-six people who went to trial before this court were convicted.
In 1693, there were also four sessions of the Superior Court of Judicature in Salem.
During these court sessions, thirty-one accused witches were tried for practicing witchcraft, but only three were convicted.
A much later Ipswich Witch Trial was held in 1878, and was called the second Salem witch trial.
Baron is a title of honour in many European peerage systems.
It is often a hereditary title that ranks as the one of the lower titles in a peerage.
In the UK peerage system, the five peerage titles from highest to lowest are duke, marquess, earl, viscount and baron.
Baronets and knights are not members of the peerage although a baron may also be a knight.
In the feudalism of medieval England a baron was a tenant-in-chief who held his lands directly from the king.
During the 13th century barons were summoned by royal writ to attend Parliament.
The word baron comes from Old French baron, itself from Frankish baro meaning "freeman, warrior".
It later merged with Old English beorn meaning "nobleman."
The lands of a baron are called a barony.
The female title for a baron is baroness.
The form of address for a baron is "Lord" and for a baroness "Lady".
A telephone box or phone booth is a public kiosk enclosing a payphone.
It is usually an item of street furniture, though some may be inside a building.
United Kingdom telephone boxes were designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott and were common in the UK, Malta and Gibraltar.
The colour red was chosen to make them easy to spot.
Because of the growth of mobile phones, telephone boxes are steadily being removed.

Phillip "Phil" O'Donnell (25 March 1972 – 29 December 2007) was a Scottish football player.
O'Donnell played for Motherwell, Celtic and Sheffield Wednesday over the course of his career.
He died from a cardiac arrest after collapsing on the pitch on 29 December 2007.
On 29 December 2007, O'Donnell collapsed during a game against Dundee United just as he was about to be substituted.
He was treated on the pitch for about five minutes by the Motherwell and Dundee United club doctors before being taken by ambulance to Wishaw General Hospital.
However, he was pronounced dead at 17.18 hours.
He was 35 years of age, married and had four children.
A postmortem examination was carried out on 1 January 2008 and it was revealed O'Donnell died of left ventricular failure.
His funeral was on 4 January, at St Mary's church in Hamilton.
Former Scottish First Minister Jack McConnell, MSP for Motherwell and Wishaw, was among those to pay tribute.
He hailed the midfielder as a "great professional."
He said, "as captain he helped transform Motherwell this season.
Phil will be sadly missed by his family and by football fans but he will be mourned by the whole community."
The player was described as a "perfect gentleman" by former Scotland coach Craig Brown.
He said: "It's very, very sad news, I just can't get over it.
You would not get a more ideal role model for a young footballer than Phil O'Donnell.
I think in his first spell at Motherwell he was probably the best box-to-box midfield player – maybe not just in Scotland but in the UK."
Motherwell and other fans laid flowers, scarves, strips and other mementos at the gates of Fir Park.
The club's scheduled SPL game against Hibs at Easter Road the following Wednesday was postponed along with the club's home game with Celtic the following Sunday out of respect.
Scottish Premier League chairman Lex Gold said: "We understand from Phil's family that they would appreciate it if the Motherwell v Celtic game scheduled for 6 January 2008 could be postponed.
Both clubs are happy to meet the request and we have called the game off."
On 31 December, the SPL postponed the Celtic v Rangers fixture scheduled for 2 January 2008 following a request by O'Donnell's former club Celtic, which was agreed by Rangers.
Players in 30 December's English Premier League matches between Derby County and Blackburn Rovers, and Manchester City and Liverpool F.C., wore black bands in his honour.
Sheffield Wednesday's matches at Hull City and at home to Preston North End were preceded by a minutes applause as a mark of respect to their former player, with the Hillsborough flags flying at half-mast.
All English Premiership ties in the New Year programme were preceded with either a minute of applause or silence in O'Donnell's memory.
Everton and Scottish striker James McFadden, who played with O'Donnell at Motherwell, dedicated his goal to O'Donnell in Everton's 2–0 win at Middlesbrough by pointing solemnly to his black armband and then towards the sky.
Thousands of tributes from around the world have been posted on the internet.
Motherwellfc.co.uk has received hundreds of written tributes from fans as far as Korea and Ukraine, as well as many emotional messages from Sevilla F.C., comparing O'Donnell's death to the similar tragedy of Antonio Puerta earlier in the season.
Sevilla F.C. director of football Ramon Rodríguez Monchi said, "This is terrible news.
Right now, my thoughts are with Phil's family and everybody at Motherwell.
Unfortunately, with the death of Phil O'Donnell, Motherwell have suffered a similar tragedy to ours.
Antonio Puerta died at the beginning of the season and I know how terrible the whole experience is.
Sevilla will be available to help in any way that we are able, to heal the pain and sadness of this tragic loss."
On 25 May 2008, a benefit match was held at Celtic Park in memory of O'Donnell with the proceeds going to various charities.
The match was between a Celtic F.C. side drawn from their 1998 title winning squad and a Motherwell F.C. side drawn from their 1991 Scottish Cup win.
Other players such as David Clarkson and James McFadden played in the game.
Henrik Larsson described the match as "a sad occasion but at the same time it's a kind of celebration for everything."
The match finished 5-1, in front of 60,000.
The Toronto Blue Jays (nicknamed the Jays) is a Major League Baseball team in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
They are part of the Eastern Division of Major League Baseball's American League.
This means that they use the designated hitter rule in most of their games.
Its president & CEO is Mark Shapiro, its general manager is Ross Atkins, and its coach and manager is John Gibbons.
The team plays 162 games every year, which can be seen on television and heard on radio all across Canada.
The Blue Jays were founded in 1977 and are the only MLB team from Canada or anywhere outside of the United States, but they have not been the only one or even the first.
There were also the Montreal Expos, which was formed in 1969, eight years before the Jays.
However, the Expos moved to Washington, D.C. in 2004 (becoming the Washington Nationals).
As part of the National League, which does not use the designated hitter rule, the Expos became rivals to the Blue Jays.
People loved to see the two teams play against each other, since they were the only two MLB teams from Canada.
The first stadium used by the Blue Jays was Exhibition Stadium, part of Exhibition Place, in Downtown Toronto, near the waterfront.
The team became popular, and in 1989 they moved to a larger stadium to the east, the "SkyDome".
It was the first in the world to have a retractable roof, and is just a few blocks away from the Air Canada Centre and Union Station.
The SkyDome hosted the Major League Baseball All-Star Game in 1991.
It is now called Rogers Centre, taking its name from Rogers Communications, a telecommunications company who owns the team.
The Blue Jays won the World Series twice, first in 1992 against the Atlanta Braves and again the next year, in 1993.
They won their second World Series on Joe Carter's walk-off home run against the Philadelphia Phillies in the last inning of Game 6 on October 23, 1993, for a final score of 7-6.
In both of those years, the team won American League East division titles (having the best win-loss record in their division).
Others years in which the Jays won division titles were in 1985, 1989, 1991, and most recently in 2015.
They also went to the playoffs as a wild card team in 2016.

Potato chips (also called potato crisps in the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland) are thin slices of potato that have been baked or fried and lightly salted or seasoned.
Some popular flavours of potato chips are: salt and vinegar, ketchup, sour cream and onion.
They are one of the most important snack foods in Western nations.
In England, they are called "Crisps", In America, they are called "Potato chips".
In the 1790s, Thomas Jefferson brought thick french fries to the United States from France.
However, a customer at a restaurant at the Moon Lake Lodge in Saratoga Springs, New York, was making the chef, George Crum, angry by saying that the fries were not thin enough.
Finally, George Crum became so angry he decided to exaggerate.
He sliced the potatoes so thinly they could not even be pierced with a fork.
Then he put them in ice water for 30 minutes.
After he fried and salted them, he gave them to the customer - who, to his surprise, loved them.
First named "Saratoga chips" in 1835, it later became well known as "potato chips".
George Crum later opened his own restaurant that served his special potato chips.

Brampton ( or ) is the third-largest city in the Greater Toronto Area of Ontario, Canada.
It is in the Peel Region.
At the time of the 2006 Canadian census, Brampton's population was 433,806 people.
Brampton is now the 11th largest city in Canada.
Brampton was made into a village in 1853.
It took its name from the town of Brampton, England.
Brampton was once known as The Flower Town of Canada.
It was called this because of the city's large greenhouse industry.
Today, the city is the home of the national headquarters of Loblaw Companies, HBC/Zellers, Brita, Clorox and other companies.
The city is also home to Canadian Forces Army Reserve unit The Lorne Scots (Peel, Dufferin and Halton Regiment).
In 1834, a man named John Elliott divided land into lots and started to sell these lots.
He called the area "Brampton", and others started to do the same.
In 1853 Brampton was made into a village.
During that year a small agricultural fair was started.
The fair took place at the corner of Main street and Queen street.
Grains, produce, and dairy products as well as Horses and cattle were sold at the fair.
This fair became what is now called the Brampton Fall Fair.
The village of Brampton built its first public library in 1887.
In 1907, the village got money from Andrew Carnegie to build a new library building.
Edward Dale, an immigrant from Dorking, England, opened a flower nursery in Brampton after he got to the town in 1863.
Dale's Nursery became the town's largest employer, and began to export flowers around the world.
The company became a town landmark, until Brampton Town Council allowed the building to be torn down in 1977.
The company once had 140 greenhouses, and was the largest flower business in North America.
The company also brought about the development of other nurseries in the town.
Brampton became the home 48 flower nurseries.
In 1963, the town started calling itself the Flower Town of Canada.
On 24 June 2002 Brampton City Council started the "Flower City Strategy".

A stroller (Canada & U.S.A.)  or pram (U.K) is a hand-pushed vehicle to carry babies and young infants.
More general terms include child carrier, baby transport or baby carrier.
Types of stroller
Standard strollers - also called full-size or regular strollers, are usually designed to allow babies to lie on their backs for the first few months.
Some are are designed to hold infant car seats for when the baby is older.
They are usually built with enclosed sides or some type of containment.
Some baby strollers  may have features to stop babies from slipping through leg openings.
Jogging strollers - are for serious runners.
Using lightweight-frames and air-filled tires, a jogging stroller provides a smooth ride for a child on nearly any surface.
Travel systems - include an infant car seat and a toddler stroller in a single system.
The infant car seat can be used for car journeys and clicks into the toddler stroller base.
Once the child has outgrown the infant seat, the toddler stroller can be used by itself.
Tandem or double strollers - can hold two children.
In tandem designs, one child sits in back of the other, making it easier to maneuver through stores or crowds because a tandem is the same width as a single stroller.
Lightweight strollers or umbrella strollers - are not equipped with much padding and at times not very modifiable; however, they are normally cheaper.
Lightweight strollers are best suited for toddlers and older babies, or children who are one year old and older.
They are not suitable for babies because they have little head support and do not recline completely.
Side by side double stroller - holds two children.
In side-by-side design, the children are sitting side by side.

Apollo 11 was the first flight to send people to the moon.
It was done by NASA, the American space group.
It went up to space on July 16, 1969, carrying three astronauts: Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins.
On July 20, 1969, Armstrong and Aldrin became the first humans to land on the moon, while Collins stayed in orbit around the Moon.
The flight was part of the Space Race.
It finished the plan set by John F. Kennedy in 1961 to "land a man on the moon, and return him safely to the Earth", before the 1960s ended.
Going to and from space
Millions of people around the world viewed the flight of Apollo 11 on television.
When the rocket was sent to space it was a worldwide event.
Richard Nixon, who was then President, watched it from the White House as the rocket went up.
A Saturn V rocket took flight from the Kennedy Space Center in America.
About two hours after leaving Earth the passenger module departed the main rocket.
The passenger module had two main parts, the Apollo command and service module called Columbia and the Apollo Lunar Module called Eagle.
Columbia was the space ship that stayed in space, and Eagle was the moon-landing space ship.
3 days later the team entered Lunar Orbit (orbit around the moon).
A day later the Eagle went away from Columbia.
The Eagle landed safely on the moon with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin inside.
During the landing, there were several problems with the computer.
To land safely Armstrong had to fly the Eagle himself.
They landed with only 25 seconds of fuel left.
Events on the moon
The first thing Buzz Aldrin did upon touch down was to pray.
He also read some words of Jesus.
He did not reveal his plan to do this because someone had just made a lawsuit to stop astronauts from doing religious things in space.
Armstrong became the first human to walk and speak on the moon's surface.
The first words he said were:
For the next two and a half hours Aldrin and Armstrong took notes, pictures and made holes to get moon rock.
The landings were watched by over six million people on Earth using the very big radio telescope in Australia.
They did many experiments, for example, the collecting of moon rocks and dust.
An American flag was set up and photographed on the moon.
Before doing that, President Richard Nixon did a telephone call to them:
Leaving the moon and returning to Earth
After finishing their work, Armstrong and Aldrin returned to the Eagle and slept for seven hours before starting to leave.
While preparing to leave, Aldrin broke the circuit breaker in the engine starter.
Armstrong used a pen to bridge the circuit and stop them from being stuck on the moon.
Aldrin and Armstrong left many things on the moon: an American flag, a few experiments, a golden feather, a logo of Apollo 1 and some bronze coins honoring Yuri Gagarin and Vladimir Komarov.
He also left a sign on the moon, with a message from the human race.
The sign reads:
On July 24 the three astronauts returned to Earth and were immediately placed into quarantine (kept away from other people), in case they brought back some disease from the moon.
They stayed in quarantine for three weeks.
When they got out the men were heroes around the world.
They had dinner with President Nixon, a parade in New York City and another one in Chicago.
The three were also on many television shows.

They currently play in the Scottish Championship.

Dundee United's home ground throughout their history has been Tannadice Park, located on Tannadice Street in the Clepington area of the city.
It is situated only  away from Dens Park, home of rivals Dundee F.C.; the two stadia are the closest senior football grounds anywhere in the United Kingdom.
The club have only ever played one home fixture at another venue.
This was a League Cup tie against Rangers in March 1947, when despite snow rendering Tannadice unplayable, the match was able to go ahead across the road at Dens Park.
The age and proximity of their stadia has led to the possibility of both clubs moving to a new, purpose-built shared stadium being discussed on various occasions.
The most recent and serious proposal for this was put forward as part of Scotland's bid to joint-host the 2008 European Football Championship, with several clubs seeking to benefit from a new stadium with planning permission given to a proposed site at Caird Park.
Special dispensation was requested to proceed with the proposal, as rules at the time forbade SPL teams from groundsharing.
Following Scotland's failed bid to host the tournament, the scheme was shelved for the time being, although the plan was raised again in June 2008 following doubts about joint-host Ukraine's ability to stage Euro 2012 with the Scottish Football Association keen as alternative hosts.

Kilmarnock (; locally known as Killie) is a large burgh in East Ayrshire, Scotland, with 44,170 people.
It is roughly between Glasgow and Ayr, and is the second largest town in Ayrshire.
The River Irvine runs through its eastern section, and the Kilmarnock Water passes through it, giving rise to the name 'Bank Street'.
The name comes from the Gaelic cill (cell), and the name of Saint Marnoch or Mernoc who is also remembered in the name of Portmarnock in Ireland, and Inchmarnock.
It may come from the three Gaelic elements mo, 'my', Ernán (name of the saint) and the diminutive ag, giving Church of My Little Ernán.
Some people think that the saint founded a church there in the 7th century.
There are 12 Church of Scotland congregations in the town, plus other denominations.
In 2005, the Reverend David W. Lacy, minister of the town's Henderson Church, was elected Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.
The core of the early town appears to have lain around what is now the Laigh Kirk (Low Church), although the oldest parts of the current building are no earlier than the 17th century, extending north and northwest.
A comparatively modest settlement until the industrial revolution, Kilmarnock extended considerably from around 1800 onwards.
This resulted in formal, planned developments such as King Street, Portland Street, Saint Marnock Street, and latterly John Finnie Street; the latter often suggested as one of the finest Victorian planned streets in Scotland.

The carpets manufactured in Kilmarnock were internationally known for their quality and intricacy since the late 1800s.
Many locations around the world chose to install BMK carpets.
Famously, RMS Titanic was carpeted using carpets manufactured by Stoddard Carpets, the parent company and successor to BMK.
Primarily due to a move by the UK market towards laminated and hard-wood flooring, but also partially due to a long decline in the industry in the area as well as cheaper, but noticeably less hard-wearing foreign competition, carpet-making finally ceased in Kilmarnock in early 2005.
Archibald Finnie and his family lived at Springhill House (now a nursing home) near the Grange Academy.
They owned many coal mines, pits and other companies in Springside and other places.
Shoes were also a major product for some time, with Saxone having a factory in the town on the site of where the Galleon leisure centre is now.
Kilmarnock had one of the earliest tram railways in the world, running to Troon over the (recently restored) Laigh Milton viaduct.
The Glasgow and South Western Railway also set up their works here, producing nearly 400 locomotives by the time it was absorbed by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923.
Some work continued, but heavy repairs were sent to St. Rollox.
Locomotive repairs finished in 1952, and the works closed in 1959.
Nevertheless locomotives are still made by Hunslett-Barclay, as well as the maintenance of existing diesel and electric multiple units.
From 1946 tractors were also built in Kilmarnock, with a large Massey-Harris factory present on the outskirts of the town.
It later became Massey-Ferguson, before closing in 1980.
Glenfield and Kennedy still survives albeit with a fraction of its former workforce, which at its height numbered in the thousands.
Kilmarnock however is still home to the world famous Johnnie Walker's brand Scotch whisky.
On the outskirts of the town is Scotland's first privately run prison, HM Prison Kilmarnock.
The textile and manufacturing sectors across Scotland suffered significant decline in the postwar period, and in particular from the 1960s, in the face of greater foreign competition.
Kilmarnock was no exception, with the closure or significant reduction of many of its traditional large employers: Glenfield and Kennedy, Massey Ferguson, BMK, and Saxone.
Although significant attempts have been made to halt this decline and attract new employers, Kilmarnock saw a continuing net loss of jobs in the five years to 2005.
More recently Portland Street, which formed the northerly part of the main shopping area, lay abandoned for many years due to a decline in retail trade and in the face of possible comprehensive redevelopment.
The street has now been redeveloped, but has not yet regained its former degree of popularity, with a Gala Bingo and a J.D. Wetherspoons taking up much of one side of the street and the rest largely occupied by chain stores.
In 2004, the Rough Guide to Scotland described the town as "shabby and depressed, saddled with some terrible shopping centres and a grim one-way system".
The town, however, contains several parks such as Howard Park, Dean Park, and Kay Park, and residential areas including London Road, Dundonald Road, McLelland Drive, and Howard Park Drive.
The town also boasts a collection of gift shops, cafes, bars, and restaurants within the very desirable Bank Street area, whilst offering retail options within its retail parks at Queen's Drive and Glencairn Square.
According to the local press in November 2007, the new SNP council have drawn up a Top Ten Hit List on 'eyesore' buildings in the town, and their owners and have revealed plans to crack down hard on property owners who have left their buildings fall into disrepair.
A plan of action is being carried out to get something done with each of these sites.
Many of the buildings in disrepair are irreplaceable listed buildings such as the former ABC cinema (previously the King's Theatre) on Titchfield Street.
A four-star hotel recently opened next to Rugby Park, the home of Kilmarnock F.C., and new restaurants, such as Merchants and the award winning Jefferson Restaurant have opened in the town centre.
Regeneration activities have been discussed for Kilmarnock town centre; in early 2006, an application to Historic Scotland's Conservation Area Regeneration Scheme was successful, and as of July 2006 an application under the Heritage Lottery Fund's Townscape Heritage Initiative Scheme was pending.
Work has pretty much finished on a quality housing development on the gapsite of the former Kilmarnock Infirmary north of the town centre.
In the past there have been major efforts to improve the quality of life for residents in the town's worst housing estates, especially in parts of Shortlees, Longpark and Onthank.
Though the physical rehabilitation of housing in these areas has partly tackled the underlying problems of social exclusion, Onthank is arguably that most successful area of regeneration in question.
Much new quality housing has been constructed on the northern fringes of the town, in order to service the demand for commuter housing.
With a journey time of 20 minutes from Kilmarnock to Glasgow (roughly half that of the existing train service), the M77 motorway has transformed the link between Glasgow and Kilmarnock.
The upgrading of the A77 route to Glasgow to the M77 motorway in 2005 has made Kilmarnock more accessible for commuters, and recent house price increases have reflected this.

In 1904, Kilmarnock had its own tramway system built.
The name of the company was Kilmarnock Corporation Tramways.
An electric power station was built in the south bank of the River Irvine at Riccarton.
Overhead power lines and tram lines were laid.
With continued upgrading and expansion, the tram network at its peak went from Ayr Road in Riccarton at its southerly point, to Knockinlaw Road in Beansburn in the North.
At Kilmarnock Cross, the line had an easterly spur that stretched along London Road, through Crookedholm and finally terminating at Hurlford.
