Ipswich Waterfront 9 May

For a while I had been wanting to visit the new Waterfront at Ipswich.   The weather didn't contribute much to the experience as it was pretty overcast most of the day, and not in a way which added atmosphere.

I was a student in the town between 1975-1977 and remember old wharfs and storage buildings, some of which remain today as the development of the area was clearly halted abruptly in 2008 and the economic downturn.

When ambling along the front it was easy to forget one was in Ipswich - one could have been in any European city.

Street art picking up the colouring of the flats behind.

Of particular interest was to see the transformation of what had been Civic College to the seat of learning called University College Suffolk (UCS).   The building appearing below is new and additional to the site which had been Civic College and is now part of UCS.   Clever use of a question mark as a statue outside!

Some cameos which again could appear anywhere, well nearly anywhere!
