Can you recognise these Ipswich roads from old photos?

After a dig through the newspaper's archives, here are some photos of old Ipswich, showing how much it has changed.

Can you think of what is in the place of some of these historical landmarks now?

1. Carr Street

Carr Street has seen many shops taking over the high street, encouraging the people of Ipswich to browse in their masses.

Historically, the road was open for cars to drive down and even saw the coronation parade of Queen Elizabeth II.

Woolworths opened on Carr Street in the 1920s and made its home there until 2008 when the retail giant collapsed.

Now, supermarket Ipswich Bazaar takes its place as Costa Coffee and Santander stand as neighbours.

2. Westgate Street

Westgate Street in 1965 (Image: Newsquest) Westgate Street, much like Carr Street, is now closed to traffic as shoppers use the high street exclusively for walking.

Some of the cars in the photo date back to the 1940s, and the household brand Boots is seen in the background.

Boots has now moved to the other side of Lloyds Avenue, next to Sailmakers.

Further to the background is what is now the HSBC bank on the Cornhill, and Primark is believed to be situated to the right of this image.

3. Civic Drive

The photo shows the roundabout and pedestrian underpass being built as the Greyfriars development was also being built on the right-hand side.

To the left is The British Lion Hotel, which was on the junction of Princes Street and Edgar Street.

The British Lion was demolished to make room for the Willis building later, and Edgar Street was lost during the 1960s redevelopment.

4. Princes Street

The area in the centre of the photo was demolished to clear the site for Greyfriars, and the houses on James Street, Portman Street, Edgar Street, Cardinal Street and Priory Street were demolished.

5. Castle Street

After this, the former Civic Centre stood here along with the Wolsey Theatre.

6. St Matthews Street

The pedestrian underpass still stands under St Matthew's Street roundabout, and the Baths have since been turned into a permanent music venue.

7. Regent Street

The photo shows a Victory in Europe party after the war, as families line the streets to celebrate.

Only a tiny section of Regent Street remains between St Helens Street and Rope Walk.
