Seven Arches Bridge 2025 and 1959, Ipswich
The right image shows the Seven Arches Bridge across London Road, at the top of the River Orwell, about to be demolished in 1959 to build the new London Road Bridge.
The entrance to Sainsburys Petrol/Diesel Station is to the far right of today's view.
The former 1950's Western House office block can be seen in the far distance in the right image. This was empty for some time before being converted into a block of flats in 2015 known as "The Spectrum"
