Memories of Ipswich, Post Office and Town Hall
The building on the left, the old Post Office, is now the TSB Bank. My Father-in-Law can remember the trams travelling in front of these buildings....no shelters, so the poor old Teddy Boy got wet!!!!!

Ipswich, the Walk c1955
Ref: I18030
I worked at Bowhill Elliot and White shoe store at the top of The Walk in 1960 Every morning I walked through here to go to work. I still e-mail a friend who worked at Turners Photography also in The Walk. We were like a family in The Walk, greeting each other every day, and going to lunch.

The shoe shop at number 44 was Thomas Alderton and Son, shown on the 1871 census as the family living there, presumably above the shop, it was still there in 1985 with the original street frontage, is it there now?

Ipswich, St Lawrence Street 1921
Ref: 70389
Back in the 1960s there was a beautiful Magnolia tree oposite the church in front of a solicitor's office in St. Lawrence Street.
Forty years have passed and I live the other side of the world.
I wonder if that tree is still there.

Yes Tami, I remember The Walk very well. In 1959 there was a model shop just to the right of the photo. They had wonderful little steam engines and I saved up pennies and shillings from my paper round until I could buy one.
Some years later as a young man we would drink Cob Toppers at the local pubs and then when the pubs closed we would go to Chinese restaurant on the first floor of an entrance in The Walk to have a supper of fried rice with vegetables--it was the cheapest dish on the menu.
These days I can afford to go to good restaurants but I don't enjoy them as much as that food in those golden days of yore.
I getting maudlin!
