Bury St Edmunds, . 17 February, 2021. Greene King brewery has announced the results of its public vote to rename the Black Boy pubs in Bury St Edmunds, to The West Gate. The pub is built close to where the town's old West Gate once stood and towards the rear of the pub are remnants of the old town wall that used to join up to the West Gate. In January, Greene King announced it would be renaming the pubs because of the racist connotations of the names, due to the Suffolk brewery's 19th Century links to slavery.
