THE CHANGING TIMES OF IPSWICH

From a picture taken from Stuart Ray we capture JDW Coaches ex Waveney AEC Swift YRT 895H approaching Dogs Head Street from this you see that the toilets on the left have been filled in and on the right is where the old Post Office sorting office was now occupied by the Buttermarket Shopping Centre.

Seen here is ICT AEC Regent 18 DDX 18 travelling down Lloyds Avenue on Ipswich Station, of course now Buses can no longer go down here after the Cornhill was paved over in the early eighties and the Ipswich Station X is also long gone.

Another one from Stuart Ray this shows Eastern Counties RLE 873 XAH 873H in 1975 which ended up with Cambus in 1984, from this view very little has changed or has it, the Mann Egerton Garage is long gone replaced by a monstrosity of a Cinema which is like a big white elephant unused for over a decade, the turning right from Majors Corner into Upper Orwell Street is also no longer possible with a cycle lane now in it's place.
