This must have been the saddest place in the parish. It was actually the Ipswich Poor Law Union workhouse for pauper children. This was not an unusual kind of institution in more urban areas, but it was the only one of its kind in Suffolk, and as such seems to have been the place where poor orphans from all over the county ended up. Built in 1879, it had room for 130 children, and eventually closed in 1930. The site is now covered by sheltered housing." I don't know anything at all about Suffolk history. I wonder if there's a history society that might know what happened to records from there?
