Description

This fascinating selection of photographs illustrates the changes which have occurred in Ipswich.

The town has experiences an enormous amount of development to keep up with its growing population.

Attractive buildings, some centuries old, were swept away as part of redevelopments in the 1950s and '60s to be replaced with ugly concrete structures.

The contrasting photographs remind us of what has been lost forever.

Also included are images of the Wet Dock. Its Victorian planners could never have foreseen the change of its use to leisure and residential. Included are old photographs of the dock, some dating back more than one hundred years, contrasted with new pictures of the same scenes today.

Photographer and writer David Kindred has toured the town and re-photographed, as closely as possible, the scenes taken by his predecessors decades before.
