Outside
the Wet Dock
The best
way to see the River Orwell is to travel in a
boat through the lock and past the Tolly Cobbold brewery to the left...
Note the rotting barge (close up in the lower part of the image)
beached in the rivver mud in front of the red brick flood defences. No
lettering currently survives on the old - and at the time of
photographing, September 2011, sadly not brewing beer - brewery
buildings as far as we know.
On the West Bank terminal (to the right as you travel from the lock)
stands a single, large, blue crane bearing the lettering:
'PORT
OF
IPSWICH'
As far we
know this crane is non-functional.
