Sudbury was the first place in the UK to elect a member of an ethnic
minority to parliament in the 1841 general election, with David Dye Sombre, the
son of an Indian queen, winning the seat. However, he was not allowed to take
his place in parliament as he was subsequently declared insane. The railway
arrived in Sudbury in 1847 when Sudbury railway station was built. The town
escaped the Beeching Axe of the 1960s and maintained its rail link with London,
although it became the terminus of the Gainsborough Line, and many villages
further up the River lost their rail stations. Road links with the major cities
of the area are being improved. Once a busy and important river port the last
industrial building on the riverside in Sudbury has been converted into the Quay
Theatre, which has seen waning popularity and financial hardship in recent
times. However the river is no longer subject to the local ordinance of 9
November 1893, when the Town Council decided that bathing in the river was to be
banned after 8 a.m., except at Dobs Hole, where screens had been erected.
The Sudbury Society was formed in 1973 after a successful campaign to save the
town's Corn Exchange from developers. However, in protecting its ancient centre
the town has not shut itself off from modern development. As the town has
expanded (to a population in 2004 of 22,300) modern retail and industrial
developments have been added on sites close to the centre. The eighteenth and
nineteenth century houses near the town centre have been added to by modern
developments. Sudbury was a borough until the local government reorganisation of
1974. Since then it has been a civil parish; being an urban area the parish
council and its chair are known as the Town Council and Town Mayor respectively.
