Brandon is a small town and civil parish in the English county of Suffolk. It is in the Forest Heath local government district. Brandon is located in the Breckland area on the border of Suffolk with the adjoining county of Norfolk. Surrounded by Forestry Commission and agricultural land it is considered a rural town.
According to Eilert Ekwall (The Concise Oxford Dictionary of English Place Names) the likely origin of the name is Brandon, usually 'hill where broom grows', the earliest known spelling being in the 11th century when the town, gradually expanding up and along the rising ground of the river valley, was called Bromdun.
From prehistoric times the area was mined for flint as can be seen at Grimes Graves, a popular Brandon tourist destination. Much more recently, the town was a major centre for the production of gunflints. The Domesday Book records that the manor of Brandon in 1086 had 25 households. In medieval times and beyond Brandon was renowned for its rabbit fur.
The town's current population is recorded as 9,636 people in the 2011 UK Census. Brandon has three schools; two primary, Forest Academy and Glade Primary School; and one High School, IES Breckland. Brandon's population has steadily increased since the Second World War due to immigration. After the war there was an influx of servicemen from Poland who settled in the town and also in nearby Weeting, Norfolk. The Cold War saw many American service people and their families billeted in and around the town. The Greater London Council oversaw the building of a large Council estate off Thetford Road and Bury Road in the 1970s and many London families were relocated to Brandon during that time.
Brandon is situated on the A1065 Mildenhall to Fakenham road. It often suffers severe congestion due to large amounts of commuter traffic, holiday traffic travelling to the Norfolk Coast and HGVs. Several bus routes and National Express coach services pass through the town as well. Brandon railway station has an hourly service to Cambridge and Ely to the West and to Thetford and Norwich in the East.
Regular bus services operate from Brandon to the neighbouring towns of Bury St. Edmunds, Mildenhall and Thetford. There are also infrequent services (at school and shopping times) to Downham Market, King's Lynn and Norwich. Flowing in an easterly direction the Little Ouse river is navigable through the town.

Malamp UK - Brandon Ballengee, 2006
The ecological artist and researcher Brandon Ballengée combines a fascination with amphibians, fish and insects with techniques of fine art imaging. For the past ten years, Ballengée's primary field of study has been amphibian species declines and deformities.
Between 2006 and 2008, The Arts Catalyst and Yorkshire Sculpture Park, with Gunpowder Park and SPACE London, commissioned Ballengée to undertake a study of deformities in UK toad populations. Collaborating with ecologist Richard Sunter and groups of the public (intrinsic to his practice), the artist focused on the study of a population of toads with high levels of deformities that he discovered near to Yorkshire Sculpture Park, and he has worked over two years to study possible causes of these deformities. During 2007 and 2008, the artist led numerous public field-trips and workshops at the park, in 2008 setting up a public laboratory to continue the study. Nearly 800 people participated in these activities.
The work has culminated in 2009 in an exhibition, The Case of the Deviant Toad, a publication, Malamp: The Occurence of Deformities in Amphibians , a survey of Ballengee's study of amphibians across several countries and many years published by The Arts Catalyst and Yorkshire Sculpture Park, and a scientific paper written by the artist and his collaborator Professor Stan Sessions and reported on BBC News.
