    • ]]>     One of the most frequent searches I get is for the Ipswich Underground.

    I’m not really how I can say this nicely but IT NEVER EXISTED.

    However here are some links:

    • ]]>     Right at the beginning of April 2007, intrepid local historian Simon Knott (of the Suffolk Churches website) decided to build a site devoted to the Ipswich Railway Station.

    There are pictures of Halifax Quay, which is near the Bourne Bridge on Wherstead Road:

    I do think Simon made one mistake, which was to ascribe the following to St Matthew’s underground station rather than the EUR public house in Croft Street, which closed a couple of years ago:

    If you are wondering why it no longer exists, indeed why so few people talk about it the answer is in this link:

    Simon Knott we salute you!
