Favourite Building
  • The YWCA, spent 3 happy years there with the local youth - and not so youth - great place for outsiders to settle in, I felt at home straight away when I arrived with my cases. Mrs. Manning and Mrs. (B)East managed it at the time - happy memories.
  • hoax pure architecture
  • the RAILWAY pub on FOXHALL rd
  • Mannings.
  • Willis Building
  • hoax :)
  • FLIPSWITCH
  • Well, there's...ummm...no, actually there are no nice buildings in Ipswich
  • the a 140 back to norwich.
  • I'm quite a fan of the willis faber building, sheer genious as it stands...say no more.
  • The corn exchange is a beautiful building, so is the ipswich school.
  • willis corroon
  • Willis Faber. Mortimers look nice now.Anglesey Nursing home.
  • The Ancient house is nice.HMV is also attractive, partly due to it's neon sign. The Glynn Webb store, now there's a beatiful building. Christchurch mansion local tourist attraction and may scare your pants off.
  • the grand piano (big black building opposite cromwell) incidently if you run into it really fast then you can see the shock wavey things spreading out acros the glass...
  • Christchurch Mansion - a free museum and art gallery. The Ipswich Museum was better before they modernised the Victorian interior, especially the main hall - it used to be a perfect example of a Victorian museum! Can we have it turned back please?
  • The new police station, art deco eat your heart out.
  • christchuch mansion.
  • most of ipswich towns buildings are fascinating if you take the time to look at them properly (that'll be above the shops)left from yesteryear, keep them all!
  • The olde buildings down the walk. It's like you have just stepped back in time.
  • Christchurch Mansion. A magnificent example of 16th century culture.
  • if u go down the alley by the buttermarket that leads 2the cattle market bus station, u can see the back of this shrunken little tudor hose. I don't know why i love it, but i do! the town hall is also cool, so is willis caroon
  • St. Margaret's Parish Church
  • If you want to see the past and the present side by side, walk around the willis coroon building (which I love despite itself) and visit the Unitarian church, an untouched and unspoilt oasis of georgian architecture that hasn't been "sympatheticaly" converted into a solicitors or an estate agents. The Catherine Deneuve of buildings - timeless understated beauty in a disposable world.
  • Christchurch Mansion in Christchurch park - great for chasing pigeons and eating ice-creams.
  • A delapadated section of the docks near Stoke bridge. It looks so unsafe I'm just waited to see who it collapes on.
  • Willis Corroon, Ancient House in Buttermarket (now home to Lakeland kitchenware shop), Town Hall, St Margaret's Church
  • The tomb of Keops, Geeza, Egypt because there aint nothing good about ipswich, they were all pulled down in the early 70`s to build world headquaters for insurance giants.
