Taking as its base a 1901 Ordnance Survey map of the town, the Historical Map of Ipswich shows on a multi-period map how Ipswich developed, and includes lost medieval buildings, cemeteries, earthworks and sites of interest as well as those that remain. A comprehensive gazetteer on the map’s reverse, complete with many illustrations, explains how Ipswich grew from a trading settlement on the River Gipping into the modern county town, and introduces its historic buildings and places of interest.

Description

Ipswich lays claim to be the earliest English town, in continuous occupation since the 8th century. It thrived as a leading international port in the middle ages, and 14 medieval churches survive. Its fortunes later fell until the building of the New Dock and the arrival of the railway in Victorian times.  This brought new prosperity, leaving a legacy of industry, parks and public buildings together with its early medieval street pattern. Published in association with the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History, the Historical Map of Ipswich charts these changes over time and tells the story of the people who shaped the town.
