HEALTH: Previous to 1874 medical relief to the needy poor was dispensed by means of voluntary
subscriptions at a private house opposite the Congregational Chapel in Hungate Street, but in that

year the necessities of the town and neighbourhood were more fully supplied by the erection of a
HOSPITAL in Fair Close, on land given by Mr John Crisp. More recently additions have been made
to the building, in which are beds for 14 inmates. Last year 61 in-patients were treated, and 291 out-

patients, the total cost of maintenance, etc., amounting to £488. The income was not sufficient to
meet the epenses,and therefore
maintained in an efficient manner.

The town is supplied with WATERWORKS, established by a private company in 1870. The well,
pumps, reservoirs, etc.., for the supply of water for domestic use are situated on the high level to the
south-west of the town, on the Ringsfleld road. Within the last year or two a pumping station has

been made in Puddingmoor, near to the new Bathing place, access to the premises being obtained by
agreement with the Corporation. The water obtained at this station is solely for street watering,
flushing the sewers, and trade purposes; the company having hound themselves, under penalties, not

to supply it for domestic or culinary uses.
GAS still holds the field as the public and private illuminant of the town. It is manufactured by a
private company incorporated in the year 1844, with parliamentary powers to supply gas, not only to

the inhabitants of Beccles, but also to Barsham, Gillingham, Geldeston, Ringsfleld, and Worlingham
The price of gas to private consumers has been reduced to 4s 2d. per 1,000 feet. By agreement with

the Urban Sanitary Authority, the ordinary public lamps are lighted from sunset to about 11 p.m. at
1d. 1/2d per lamp per night; and the all-night lamps from sunset to sunrise, at 3d.

per lamp per night,
this arrangement extending over ten months of the year, commencing 1st of August. The lighting of
the Swine’s Green district is effected by oil lamps, at a cost of about £20 per annum.

The public buildings in the town, other than those already mentioned, are the TOWN HALL, CORN
EXCHANGE, “OLD TOWN HALL,” now used as a PUBLIC LIBRARY & LITERARY
INSTITUTE, the GAOL, and the handsome BANK in the New Market, erected by Messrs. Gurneys,

Birkbeck, Barclay and Co. Concerning the Town Hall [now the PUBLIC HALL], it may be
mentioned that it forms the security under a tontine bond for £500 advanced in the year 1820 in
consideration of the payment of 5 per cent, interest so long as any one of the nominees mentioned

therein survives. There are at present nine survivors, all of them of advanced age. In about the year
1819, a large sum of money was expended in and about the building, and in consideration thereof the
Corporation ordered that it should be henceforth kept entirely for the purpose of holding balls therein.

This order was varied, three years later, to the extent that the Portreeve was allowed to hold his feast
there, “he taking every precaution to prevent, as much as possible, any damage to the room, by
having the floor well covered with sawdust, the curtains taken down, and the covers of the benches

removed, and the tables not screwed or nailed to the floor.” Since then the uses of the Assembly-
room,” as it was styled till within the last few years have been increased, and it has been generally
available for public meetings and entertainments. Within the last two years a considerable amount has

been spent in re-seating the gallery, providing better means of exit, improved lighting, and general
renovation of the interior.
The CORN HALL, situate at the back of Messrs. Lacon’s Bank and private dwelling house of the

cashier, which front Exchange Square, was formerly used as a theatre, Mr. Fisher’s company paying
frequent visits to the town. It is now used for market purposes, and occasionally for political

meetings. As regards the “Old Town Hall,” close to the parish church, its exterior has been
considerably altered in fitting the building for modern uses, while in the interior scarcely a vestige of

the old time, when it was used as a court of justice and as a civil court, remains. The building
formerly belonged jointly to the county authority and the Corporation of the Borough; the latter

purchased the county share some years ago, and subsequently adapted the building for a public
library and newspaper reading room, dividing it into two portions, which are rented by the Directors
of the Public Library Company and the Committee of the Literary Institute respectively.

The OLD HOUSE of CORRECTION has not been used as a gaol during the last quarter century or
more. Until the year 1879, however, it retained all the accessories of a prison, and in the court yards

could be seen the treading wheel, pump, etc., which provided the “hard labour” of that period. In the
year above mentioned alterations were made in the prison building, the governor’s bedrooms and the

old chapel being converted into a spacious court-house, the left and right wings remaining very much
as before, for the residence of the local police, and a lock-up for prisoners needing detention for a few

days on remand. The outbuildings were all removed, and part of the property sold for building
purposes, the row of cottages known as “Dacre Place” occupying the site. Police courts and county

courts are now held at the court house. A small building in Smallgate Street contains muniment
chamber, wherein are stored the records of the old Corporation; here also is the Council Chamber ,
used jointly by the Feoffees and the Corporation, the former having the priority.

The estate of the Corporation is not the only land held in trust for the benefit of the inhabitants. The
income from the FEOFFMENT ESTATE, however, is mainly devoted to charitable objects, the trust,
strictly speaking, being for “the benefit, profit, and common utility of the inhabitants of Beccles.”

The Feoffees have set apart a considerable portion of the land at their disposal in quarter-acre
allotments, which are let at moderate rentals to deserving working-men of the town. The income from
this and other sources is devoted to helping the needy in the shape of coals, blankets, etc., and to such

philanthropic objects as commend themselves to the Feoffees.
ALMSHOUSES for the reception of aged widows in reduced circumstances are situated in
Puddingmoor and Fair Close. It was suggested in the Jubilee year of Her Majesty that additional

almshouses should be erected as a suitable memorial of the Queen’s reign, but while the need was
recognised, it was more generally thought that the Hospital was in greater need, and so an opportunity
was missed of adding to the few alms-houses possessed by the town. There are several other charities.

Robert Girling, at one time Portreeve, by his will, dated 23rd of May, 1676, gave the sum of £50 to
the Corporation, to the intent they “shall yearly and every year for ever, pay unto the Churchwardens
of ye s’d towne of Beccles, for ye tyme being, three pounds, for and towards ye putting out of some

poore child of ye said town, an apprentice.” In grateful acknowledgement of which “so great a
kindness” the Corporation “unanimously agreed, condescended, and ordered that the will should be

entered verbatim amongst the records of the Corporation, and there to remain open, “y’t thereby
future ages may take notice of this so charitable an act and p’son, and praise God for so noble a

benefactor.” A LYING-IN CHARITY has its head-quarters in Hungate Lane. WARD’S LEGACY of
£2 12s. yearly, provides the means for doling out a certain quantity of bread every Sunday to the aged

poor who attend the parish church; there is a DISTRICT VISITORS’ PROVIDENT FUND for
distribution to the poor; the Churchwardens and Rector have the dispensing of coals, etc., purchased
with the sacramental alms, and also of the RUSSELL-LOYNES CHARITY, which provides a sum of

£20 yearly for the purchase of coal for twenty of the deserving poor, irrespective of denomination.
There are also clothing and coal clubs. The rent of the HERMITAGE INN near the bridge, of the
STAITHE, and of the POOR’S PIGHTLE, produce an income which is spent in repairs to the fabric

of the parish church, while the rent of a small piece of land forming part of the sale ground in
Blyburgate Street called the CLERK’S PIECE goes towards paying the salary of the parish clerk.
Important marts for the sale of live and dead stock are held fortnightly by Messrs. H. & S. Read,

whose sale ground is in Blyburgate Street, and by Messrs. G. Durrant & Sons, whose auction
premises are near to the railway station,
Messrs. S. Crisp & Son have several very large maltings iii the town; Mr. C. Smith also carries on

this branch of industry.
Here Messrs. W. Clowes & Sons, of Duke Street and Charring Cross, London, have their country
printing establishment, and employ 300 or more persons at these extensive works.

Messrs. S. K. & W. H. Garrod have large tannery works in Northgate Street;
an old-established coach building manufactory is carried on in Hungate Street; close by are the
agricultural implement works and foundry of Mr. Samuel F. Field, and in Peddar’s Lane are similar

works belonging to Mr. John Oldrin. Messrs. Elliott and Garrood are partners in the rapidly increas-
ing engineering business established near the railway station.

Messrs. Darby conduct an important timber trade, and also of bricks, drain pipes, etc., and coal. A
timber business has also been established here by Mr. Saul. Mr. Wm. Aldous’ pottery is situated in

Ingate Road; and not very far off are the Nursery Grounds of Messrs. T. A. Laws and Son. Since the
year 1813, the market for corn has been held on Friday.
