One of the larger examples of the Great Eastern Railway's canopies, with ridges and valleys across the island platform, a design that replaced the relatively simple flat canopies that are seen here attached to the main station building. The northern extension of this canopy around the bay platforms, for the branch trains, is also in the later style.

It looks as if some vans and a coach are being attached/detached at the rear of a London bound train. The only problem is that there is no visible engine at the London end of the train. Perhaps it is just a shunting move to get some coaches ready for a London train!

The entrance to Ipswich Tunnel, at the London end of the station, is just below the hill.

The depot opened 23/11/1903 with the tram system. Trolleybuses began to use it as from 2/9/1923 on their introduction in Ipswich. The tram system ceased operation on 26/7/1926. Trolleybuses alone were responsible for serving the town until August 1950. The last trolleybus ran on 23/8/1963.
