The UK's most beautiful Greggs reveals new restoration after 18 months
Greggs in Abbeygate Street, Bury St Edmunds is housed in a 17th century Grade II* listed building and is often titled as the prettiest Greggs in the UK.

Work on the bakery store started back in 2023 and included fixing the roof and rebuilding the front facade.
The historic building's facade features wood paneling and blends Tudor, Georgian, Victorian and 1930s features.
And to restore the spot to its former glory, the timber doors were carefully restored after becoming faded.
Before it was a Greggs bakery, the location used to be long to Oliver & Son - a grocer and tea dealer.
The grocer is believed to have been established in the late 1700s and stayed in Bury St Edmunds until the 1960s.
Taking to Reddit, one user claimed that they had found " the countries poshest Greggs" in Bury St Edmunds.
Another user dubbed it "Ye Olde Greggs", whilst a third joked, "so Diagon Alley now has a Greggs" - comparing the spot to something out of Harry Potter.
According to the East Anglian Daily Times, Tony Rowson from Greggs said: "Emmerson Critchley did a fantastic job of tastefully reconstructing the features of this shop, to ensure a modern feel whilst keeping the essence of this historical building for the local community."
It is hoped the restoration work will be a "good fix for probably 100 years".
And this isn't the only beautiful location in the town though, with another Reddit user revealing: "You should see the town's Wetherspoons…"
I went to the UK's biggest Wetherspoons with rooftop bar overlooking the beach
The Corn Exchange - also located on Abbeygate Street - is in a Grade I listed 19th century building.
The venue first opened as The Corn Exchange in 1862 and Wetherspoons refurbished the building in 2011.
Many of the original features still remain, including a grand exterior.
On the first floor, the pub features a room with a long marble bar and a domed glass ceiling too.
One recent visitor said: "The converted Corn Exchange looks like a Grecian palace, relaxed atmosphere, spacious surroundings."

Bury St Edmunds is believed to have inspired author Charles Dickens as well.
The town is mentioned in the opening of Dickens' novel Pickwick Papers, including the Angel Hotel - where the Victorian author had previously stayed.
The town was also chosen as a set for the 2019 film The Personal History of David Copperfield - an adaptation of another of Dickens' stories.
11 of the prettiest Wetherspoons across the UK have also been named.
Plus, Britain's most beautiful pubs for 2025 have been revealed from historic beer houses to cosy village bars.

The truth about Britain's 'dark economy': Map reveals how nearly 1,000 businesses were fined £37MILLION for hiring illegal workers last year
Nearly a thousand businesses the length and breadth of Britain were fined more than £37million for employing illegal workers last year. Firms received penalties of up to £360,000 as part of the clampdown, which exposes the vast size of the UK's 'dark economy'. The ability to work without papers is considered a major pull factor for migrants overstaying visas or arriving illegally on small boats and lorries. MailOnline used Home Office data covering the whole of 2024 to name and shame businesses that have been caught out. They range from car washes, barbers, salons, hotels and takeaways to haulage firms, care providers and home renovation services. The biggest fine of £360,000 was given to D&T Hand Car Wash in Leatherhead, followed by £280,000 for a south London real estate company called Arya Rae Ltd and £270,000 for nursing agency Wrexham Care in Staffordshire. Also among the top ten were two more car washes, two construction companies, a haulage firm, one care provider and one restaurant - Portofino in New Brighton, Merseyside. Fines issued by Immigration Enforcement teams totalled £37,625,000, although it is unclear how much of this money has been paid. Businesses found to be employing people illegally face fines of up to £45,000 per worker for the first offence and up to £60,000 per worker for repeat offenders. While many are small firms, inspectors have netted some major names, including the famous Royal China restaurant on London's Baker Street. The well-known eatery has paid fines totalling £470,000 after three visits by immigration officers between 2018 and 2024. At least 20 people were arrested during the raids, which found one staff member who was receiving an hourly rate of £6 while carrying out 66-hour weeks. The council later stripped the venue of its licence to serve alcohol - labelling it 'the worst licensed premises in Westminster'. The latest raid by the Home Office's Central London ICE (Immigration Compliance and Enforcement) took place on May 10 2024, with nine members of staff detained - almost a third of those on duty at the time. The Royal China Group was fined £360,000 on that occasion, with six Indonesian and two Malaysian men deemed to have overstayed visas, and a Chinese woman working in breach of hers. During a raid in Oldham, immigration Enforcement officers found makeshift shipping containers that had been turned into a kitchen and living room In June, the Home Office revealed its officers had visited more than 9,000 businesses in the previous 12 months for checks on paperwork and working conditions. More than 6,400 people were arrested during the raids. The Home Office said there were a range of industries exploiting migrant workers with businesses often subjecting migrants to 'squalid conditions and illegal working hours' and below-minimum wages. In one case, migrants were found living in appalling conditions inside shipping containers at a car salvage yard in Oldham, where they were paid just £2.33 an hour. The illegal workers, from Malaysia, Lithuania and Belarus, were working between 50 and 60 gruelling hours a week. Officers found makeshift sleeping cabins, fitted with small beds and bathrooms, as well as shipping containers that had been turned into a kitchen and living room. Immigration officials said the migrants were promised accommodation and three meals a day - but once these costs were deducted it is suspected they only received £500 a month, or £2.33 per hour. Last year, MailOnline witnessed more than 30 officers raiding a bedding and mattress factory before making a dozen arrests. Specialist immigration enforcement teams in six vans surrounded the large warehouse near Tipton in the West Midlands before rushing in just after 10am. Several workers started running away after spotting the officers and tried to hide between timber pallets and piles of mattresses before they were handcuffed. The name of the business, Giomani Designs, was on a sign outside, and its products - which include leather beds and outdoor rattan furniture - were sold direct to consumers online. Officers interviewed all the men at the factory before arresting seven Indian men for suspected illegal working. Those found to be legally employed were allowed to return to their shift.

Everton sell their women's team to parent company to splash the cash and ease PSR headache - following Chelsea and Aston Villa in controversial move
Everton have sold their women's team to their parent company in a move which will allow them to splash the cash on new signings and stave off profitability concerns. Records on Companies House, first reported by The Times, show that Everton Football Club Women Ltd has been transferred to a company called Roundhouse Capital Holdings, which is controlled by Everton's owner, businessman Dan Friedkin. Roundhouse was the firm The Friedkin Group used to buy the club in December. Insiders have reportedly said the move will help to ensure the women's team is a standalone entity capable of attracting its own investment from the United States. They accept, however, that it will also help the Toffees comply with PSR. Everton have become the third Premier League side to make the most of a controversial law which allows clubs to sell assets, such as their women's team, to related entities and then record the profit in their PSR calculations. Chelsea and Aston Villa were the first to take advantage of this particular ruling. However, both these clubs subsequently breached UEFA's stricter financial rules, which seek to deter teams from shifting around assets in this manner. According to The Times, the Premier League have vehemently insisted the law is not a loophole because they conduct rigorous fair value assessments. Everton were previously deducted six points for breaching PSR in the 2021-22 campaign and two points for a breach in 2022-23. Football finance expert Kieran Maguire, via The Times, said Chelsea's eyebrow-raising sale of their women's team for £200m, ten times their annual revenue, means Everton could put a valuation of £60m on their own women's side. The Toffees lost 3-0 to Bournemouth in their opening Premier League Summer Series match, leaving David Moyes to rue a lack of signings this summer. He said: 'Yes, but let's be fair, it's not just players missing. We need to sign a lot of players and we're hugely aware that we need to bring a bunch of new players in. 'I wish we could have had them earlier because it would have helped us now and helped us prepare them for the team. 'We're fully aware that we've come here with a really limited squad and numbers and quite a few injuries as well.'

We bought the retirement caravan of our dreams but it turned into a financial nightmare... now we're £150k out of pocket and working three jobs just to stay afloat
A British grandmother and grandfather claim to have been left £150,000 out of pocket after buying a 'nightmare' caravan purchase they say has 'ruined' their lives. Lisa and Robert Colvin-Jones bought a caravan by the sea after downsizing their home, with the aim to make memories with their grandson and to rent it out when they are not there. However, the purchase has turned into a financial nightmare for the pair, aged 55 and 56 respectively, with alleged hidden costs and other fees. The couple say they have to work three jobs between them just to stay afloat. They have only stayed in the caravan for three days in 2024 and not at all in 2025 - earning just £500 in rent across 32 weeks. 'We could not have known this would be the start of a financial nightmare that is still ruining our lives today,' Lisa said. 'Robert and I are forced to work three jobs between us because of the financial hole [this] has left us in. 'It is not where we wanted to be at this stage in our lives. 'What should have been a simple, peaceful family investment has instead turned into a huge financial loss with misleading information, hidden fees and false promises at every turn. 'Our trust has been completely betrayed. We feel trapped and hope that sharing our story will prevent others from falling into the same trap.' The pair visited Sea Bay Resort park in West Sussex in September 2021. Lisa, a full-time carer, from Sussex, was going through serious medical issues at the time of the purchase and having a relaxing family retreat seemed 'just the ticket'. The salesperson showed them the 2019 ABI Ambleside caravan for £89,995. They claim to have been reassured that it was a 'platinum' standard home - the highest earning rental classification - and when not using it themselves, they could potentially earn a significant income from it. A £10,000 deposit was put down and the remainder was financed. However, soon after they got the keys, the pair realised a veranda would be needed for the safety of Lisa's father, who suffers from COPD. After finding a reputable contractor, who would do the job for £6,000, the couple claim to have been informed by Seal Bay that they were only allowed to use a 'park approved' contractor to the tune of £11,000. Lisa said: 'We were also contractually bound to buy our gas bottles directly from the park at £105 per bottle. Elsewhere, the same bottle costs around £80. 'Electricity similarly has to be purchased from the park in fixed blocks with no transparency or control. 'We were not allowed to install cheaper, green options like solar panels.' To help recover some costs, the pair tried to rent out the caravan but soon discovered that their supposed 'platinum' mobile home was actually 'gold plus' - meaning less rental rate and booking volume. And when they did get renters in, their energy bills surged. To add insult to injury, they were then hit with an increase in ground rent - despite allegedly being told that fees had remained consistent for years. In 2023, another salesperson suggested upgrading to a caravan they could rent out more easily - and for more money - costing a further £25,000. Lisa said: 'We were promised the new unit would generate £20,000 plus in annual rental income. '[Obviously, we were] hesitant after our previous experiences but we felt like we had no other options. 'We were desperate.' But, there was a hidden cost - it needed a larger pitch, increasing their ground rent from £6,500 to £7,500 per year. There was also no path across the wet grass and to have one fitted, it would cost £899 for nine flat stones using the park's approved contractor. Lisa and Robert, who works in IT and baggage handling at an airport, claim the slabs were already in place, but were removed for the caravan, meaning they had to pay to put them back. The final straw came when they tried to sell the caravan back to the park, who could only offer them £24,100 - an 80 per cent loss. Lisa added: 'Our grandson loved the caravan holidays we did have and we tried so hard to make it work. 'But the costs are just unworkable. 'When we did manage to rent out the caravan, the park held onto the money for months and there was little left over after the bills. 'We lose money every month. 'Other people who sold back to the park have told us that their caravans went straight back on the market for full value. 'We looked into selling privately but Seal Bay told us that if we didn't sell to them, then they would charge the new owners an extra £500 a year in ground rent - effectively making private sales impossible. 'Overall, we were given drastically unrealistic expectations around costs and rental income.' Greg Wilson, CEO of European Consumer Claims (ECC), said: 'Sadly, the Colvin-Jones' experience are by no means unique. 'Misleading sales presentations are totally unacceptable when life changing amounts of money are involved. 'Inflated, hidden and monopolistic costs are reported right across the industry, and we at ECC are leading a nationwide call for the government to introduce legislation to protect people like Lisa and Robert.' Jack Irvine, who represents Seal Bay Resort park, said: 'I would stress that Seal Bay as a matter of company policy tries to treat all clients in a fair and honest manner and the allegations are totally alien to everything we do.'
