Beatrix Potter’s *Bury St Edmunds* shows a busy street scene painted in watercolour. It started as a pencil sketch before she added colour. The work captures a moment in Suffolk, likely drawn during her visits to relatives. Potter made five recorded trips to Melford Hall between 1901 and 1911. This piece fits right into that timeframe.
