The new townhall at Ipswich, [Suffolk], 1868. Engraving from a photograph by Mr. Cobb. ' Its design, which is of the Venetian school of architecture, is carried out in variously coloured stones, greatly enhancing its general effect...[The] front is marked by a projecting open arcade, on Corinthian c damns; above which, on pedestals, are statues representing Justice, Learning, Commerce, and Agriculture...Above this facade rises the dome, surmounted by the clock-tower...Balconies are provided for speakers, from which they can address an audience assembled in the street, both on the Cornhill and King-street sides...The basement comprises the police entrance from King-street, the superintendent's office, charge-room (with stores for stolen goods), police day-room, engine-shod, and parade corridors, seven spacious cells, an office for the inspector of weights and measures, a private entrance and stairs for the members of the Corporation, a cooking-kitchen, with lift up to the council-chamber, and all other requisite conveniences...To the right is the magistrates' court...The architects of the new Townhall are Messrs. Bellamy and Hardy, of Lincoln; and Mr. Edward Gibbons, of Ipswich, is the builder'. From "Illustrated London News", 1868.
