Haverhill
Haverhill is a market town and civil parish in the county of Suffolk. It is located on the borders of Essex and Cambridgeshire, being 14 miles south-east of Cambridgeshire and 47 miles north-east of central London. The town centre is situated at the base of a dip in the chalk hills of the Newmarket Ridge, and the Stour Brook, which eventually joins the River Stour away from the town, flows through Haverhill. It is the 2nd biggest town in the Borough of St. Edmundsbury, with a population of 27041. Although the town is surrounded by arable land, the economy is dominated by industry, due to the sizeable industrial estate and a business park containing many manufacturing companies in the south of the town. It is also home to scientific firms and numerous waste processing, transport and building and construction firms. As a result of planning reviews undertaken in 1956 and 1962, aiming to relocate families from London who had lost their homes during the course of World War II, Haverhill has gradually expanded in the post-war period, with a swift threefold increase in population from the population of 5446 in 1962. Haverhill is referred to as a modern and young town. It has 2 Non-League football clubs, Haverhill Rovers F. C. and Haverhill Borough F. C., a baseball team, and several sporting activities are accessible at a leisure centre containing a swimming pool, a gym and a children's soft play area. Along with picking from multiple independent and chain stores for completing shopping, a weekly market is held in the town every Saturday, which goes back to 1086.
