Why the question mark? There is a Sudbury in Suffolk (I was there over the

doesn't have a station. It does have a prison, though.

I grew up in Ashford. A postcard sent to me went via (IIRC) six others
before reaching me, because it didn't have a postcode or county given in
the address.

I don't think it would have taken a great deal to figure out which one it
was for first time, though, because it was from the library in Bakewell,
three miles away, and had "Derbyshire Libraries" in big letters on it.
