Ipswich, Suffolk
Ipswich, on the River Orwell, is the county town of Suffolk. I have had family connections with the
town for many years. Mum and Dad lived at 90 Kemball Street for a few years before moving to
Chelmondiston and I have various cousins and second cousins in the area. The town has changed a
lot over the years with much of the former docks being redeveloped for housing.

Ostrich Inn, Ipswich
It is said that the name of this 400 year old pub by Bourne Bridge,  "Ostrich",  was a mistake caused by a
drunken landlord whose slurred speech resulted in the sign writer mis-understanding his orders for the sign
to be painted "The Oyster Reach".
