Haverhill, in Suffolk, had a population of around 27,500 at the 2021 census — a town whose older roots in the wool trade were overtaken in the 20th century by a very different kind of growth.
From wool town to London overspill
Haverhill's older history is tied to the wool and cloth trade that shaped much of medieval and early modern Suffolk. But the town most people recognise today took shape after the Second World War, when Haverhill was designated an "overspill" town under London expansion schemes, taking in Londoners relocated from the capital along with new housing estates and light industry built to accommodate them. That mid-20th-century expansion substantially increased the town's population within a couple of decades and reshaped much of its built environment.
What that history doesn't leave behind
Haverhill's growth didn't bring a dedicated bulk sweet shop with it — there's nowhere locally set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines at scale.
