A wide-angled view of a pre-electrification Ipswich featuring the highly unusual platform-mounted signal box and vestiges of its original Ipswich & Bury St Edmunds Railway architecture. The original was built on the London-side of Belstead Rd hill before the new railway made an end-on connection through the tunnel. Two unidentified Cravens units are standing in the platforms usually used by Liverpool St to Norwich expresses - on the left a Cambridge service and the right an East Suffolk line train. Felixstowe trains still leave from a bay platform on the right beyond the footbridge. Dated 3rd May 1982.
