The Suffolk Family History Society celebrates 50 years!
Ipswich Group, Suffolk Family History Society next meets at 7:30pm, Wednesday 3rd December
The next Ipswich Group, Suffolk family History Society Talk is by Linda Sexton, who presents: “By Stagecoach through Suffolk” on Wednesday 3rd December 2025 at 7:30 p.m.
This talk takes us back to the late 18th century for an Ipswich to Yarmouth journey before the railways or petrol engined vehicles.
The Stagecoach was the main means of travel for those without a carriage, and the Ipswich to South Town and the Bungay Turnpike Trust were responsible for the maintenance of the road we now know as the A12.
How did the system work, when did it come end? Join us aboard The Star or The Telegraph to find out more.
