Ballygate, Beccles Then & Now
A view of Ballygate, looking up towards the bell tower which adjoins St. Michael’s Church in Beccles. The postcard dates from 1909 whilst the modern comparison below it was taken in May 2010. This end of Ballygate has remained largely unchanged in the intervening years, although some of the old shops have now become residential properties. Construction on the bell tower is believed to have begun c1500.
