This view shows, in the bottom left, the grey roof of the Turban Centre , and the large public car park for shoppers. There is a wide turning circle for buses, with Hamblin Road running down to Quayside, the name of a relatively new relief road built to take traffic away from Thoroughfare ( in the 1960s/70s I believe). The pale area is the "Budgens" car park. The large building in the centre is a block of retirement apartments, built on the site of The Woodbridge Canning Company (later Turban dried fruits), adjoining Elmhurst Park. Across Quayside are small industrial units and the Ipswich to Lowestoft railway. There are sea defences between the railway and the tidal marshes of the river Deben, where boats are moored in the burgeoning Woodbridge Marina. |
