An Afternoon in Ipswich, England

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

I've never been to Ipswich before last weekend when I went to see the Pigs Gone Wild trail. Ipswich is a small town, and I enjoyed the old buildings and the new harbour area. I could not get great photographs of a lot of the areas, but there's a large square with beautiful buildings (known as Cornhill or Cornmarket). The market was set up, and I wandered around and saw other timber-framed buildings and buildings with ornate designs.

We went to Smokey Joe's for lunch. It wasn't my first choice of place, but my partner wanted to go there instead of the open-air street pub or the Thai restaurant across the street. I had the chicken burger, which was very delicious. It came with chips that had a paprika salt on them, and I also ordered beer-battered onion rings. Onion rings were a weakness of mine and a food that I often do not get to try in the UK.

I loved these timber-framed buildings.

The building above is known as 'Ancient House' and is a shop.

This old building contains ornate decorations and details. One is an advertisement for a Croydon watch maker.

The harbour area looks like it has recently been regenerated and contains many restaurants, hotels, and clubs as well as the university.
