The Clifford Road Tunnels Heritage Site – a World War II Home Front experience

Underneath the playground at Clifford Road Primary School there are three World War II tunnel networks built in 1939 as air-raid shelters for the school and local community. It was assumed that these features had been filled in. However, in 1989 one of the shelters was uncovered and the heritage site was created. Since then, the site has been a valuable part of Ipswich local history: a museum full of wartime memorabilia and artefacts.

The tunnels will be open for the Spring/Summer season 2023. The link below gives full details, opening times and admission prices.

The grand opening day is on Saturday 8 April 2023 from 11.00am until 5.00pm
