As owner of this site I get to see how many views each pic gets. I have been puzzled lately to find the pic above is by far the most popular even though it is off topic for this particular site. The pic is of course of the old Waveney PH in Bramford Road (now re-named The Churchill). I reckoned the interest in it must be to do with the remarks I made about Fore Street Ipswich. Have a look and see what you think and guess the connections they all have with each other.

This one happened separately when the property crash caught a few speculators. It was the Blue Coat Boy PH and the scaffolding around it now is nothing to do with what happened.
Well they have all been the scene of mysterious fires even if one is on the Cattle Market and was alight at a different time. All the local lads were rounded up and held in custody while this was being investigated. I went to see Ryan. "Elizabeth where is that sallow looking Ray?" Reply. "He has gone abroad a few days ago with Ricky and Ronnie Leighton" As it happens Ricky did get his collar felt but got away with a plea and a big fine. It must have been some plea that:-)
