Fore Street Facelift Exhibition

When Queen Elizabeth II visited Ipswich in July 1961 to open the Civic College, the Society joined local architects to give a major - and much needed - refurbishment to Fore Street, so that the royal motorcade could process along an attractive, decorated thoroughfare. Architect drawings and hand-coloured plans of the colour scheme, contemporary and present-day photographs, press coverage and maps will be on display from October 2 to 16. Please make a note in your diaries for a Members' Launch Evening at the UCS Waterfront building at 7pm on Friday 2 October 2015 which will include the exhibition, a short film, speakers, drinks and canapes. More details and tickets will be included in the September Newsletter.
