Abstract:		 In June 2006, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out a historic building appraisal of industrial buildings relating to a former flax factory at Hardwick Industrial Estate, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. The exact date at which the flax factory commenced production is not known but its period of use is known to have been relatively short-lived, between the years 1919 and 1926. Involving labour intensive processes, it was built to provide employment for people in the Depression years after the First World War. The buildings were later the premises of the Bury Hand Laundry and during the Second World War were used by the MoD. In latter years the site has been utilised as an industrial estate. Most of the buildings associated with the factory survive and photographs taken at the time the flax factory was in production give a good indication as to how some of the buildings were used. It is less easy to determine how the site was used by the laundry and the MoD.
