Alexandra Park, Ipswich

Alexandra Park is situated between Grove Lane, Kings Avenue and Back Hamlet, Ipswich.

In 1903, the Ipswich Corporation purchased one of six packages of land which was formerly part of the Hill House Estate and home of the Byles family.

The land became parkland and was named Alexandra Park after the wife of Edward VII.

The park has a natural slope from Grove Lane down to Kings Avenue.

This permits views of the surrounding areas, including the Orwell Bridge, the docks area and many of the town's ancient churches such as St Mary le Tower and its prominent spire.
