Gallery – Archaeology

These images show some of the ceramics and glass found during Suffolk Archaeology’s excavations on the site of ‘The Hold’. Mostly post-medieval in date, some of the pots are the finest examples found in Ipswich to date. They will feature in a future display within the new building!
