Many houses have vanished from Suffolk in the last 150 years and this talk will look at vernacular buildings that have disappeared from Ipswich and beyond.
Lisa will initially focus on the journey of a 16th Century house from Carr Street sold in 1906 and thought to have left the country. Lisa will also talk about the trade in architectural salvage in the last century and the battles that preservation groups have in fighting to save houses from demolition.
