The period during which the Copeland Street Pottery was such a hot-bed of activity was reflected generally across the nation with nearly every large town or city engaged in some sort of progressive manufacturing process. The once great Town of Ipswich, the former industrial capital of East Anglia was no exception. In our own lifetime, we have witnessed the demise of so many world-renowned enterprises. The following photographs show some of the products manufactured here as well as a glimpse of the maritime scene.
