Peckham Street
Image: © John Goldsmith Taken: 2 Sep 2008
A Victorian era terrace with a major parking problem. Some classic Suffolk flint construction on the right (south). Visible on the left are two remaining Ionica radio based telephone system dishes, small and octagonal. This company died years ago but left the worthless dishes. There is a close-up view at Image As in most places in 'sugartown' a part of the sugar factory is visible, on the left horizon, above Ipswich Street. I have spoken to a Mr Peckham who told me his ancestors ran a ropeworks on this site, which was on the edge of town in Victorian times, but at some point they decided to build terraced housing, cashing in on the local building boom and expansion towards the station.
