This land lies between the East Suffolk line (from which the image is taken), the main line from Ipswich to Norwich (on the left) and a newly constructed curve, on the right, that allows container traffic from Felixstowe to head northwards and towards the Midlands without reversing in Ipswich freight yard. The land was previously used for a slaughterhouse and meat store, and as a result the newly built line is known as the Bacon Factory Curve.
