The landscape of Ipswich has changed dramatically over the past 80 years, with the population of the town increasing considerably and the town expanding to accommodate it.

Ipswich Star: Angel Lane (centre) and St Clements Church Lane (right) off Fore Street led to The Potteries. This Victorian photograph features two of Ipswich's lost public house. The Lion and Lamb closed in 1908. The Angel on the right closed in 1900. Both of the buildings had different uses until they were demolished in the 1930s. The Fore Street Baths are now off to the right of this view.Angel Lane (centre) and St Clements Church Lane (right) off Fore Street led to The Potteries.

Some buildings have stood the test of time and have been in the town for over 400 years, while others have failed to last half a century before being demolished to make way for new housing developments, offices and leisure centres.

A number of Ipswich schools, housing estates and parks remain only in our memories.

But these photographs of Ipswich from days gone by have captured what life once looked like in Suffolk’s county town.
