About The Sudbury Society | The Sudbury Society was born in 1973 at a time when Sudbury was undergoing great changes -many houses and other buildings in the heart of the town were being pulled down to make way for new roads and car parks whilst residential and housing estates were spreading to the east of the town. In 1963 local people were successful in saving the fine Corn Exchange from demolition but in 1973 failed to save Inkerman Terrace, a significant row of Victorian weavers' cottages. This established the need for a society to coordinate such action and so the Sudbury Society was born, taking the image of the Corn Exchange as its logo
