34 Homes, One Poster 🖼️

Thank you for reading Ipswich Insider this year. It’s such a blast to put together each week. Since March, the INSIDER section has taken a proper deep dive into 34 iconic Ipswich homes.

To wrap it up for 2025, I’ve made a single poster that puts them all in one place. It’s a little thank-you, and a handy compendium of everything we’ve covered so far.

Here’s to another year, and at least 34 more iconic Ipswich homes to explore.

🤔 The Ipswich Trivia Vault

Thank you for reading Ipswich Insider this year. One of the most fun parts of putting it together is the trivia and seeing locals jump in each week. Honestly, watching the guess breakdowns roll in is a big part of what keeps me going.

To wrap up 2025 (and because this issue lands on 31 Dec), I’ve built a single Trivia Vault that puts all 41 questions + answer cards in one place. Each answer card includes the correct answer, a bit of context, and how everyone else guessed.

Have a scroll over the break, test yourself, and see what you missed.
