Visited with Hamtagger and Session9
After a cold night in Severalls and considering exploring a close by Hospital (That we soon found out wasn't derelict) we decided to head over to Tolly Cobbald Brewery.
By this time we had been awake for about 40 hours and been to the poshest McDonalds on the Planet 4 times for Winter Warmer meals. We parked around the corner and walked from there to the easiest access of any place I have been. There was practically a Red Carpet, don't get too excited though because this red carpet was a special one covered in needles and swabs.
The building itself has a lot of potential so it would be sad to see it knocked down, although the inside is a death trap. After dodging 200 dead pigeons :jump and various other rodent skeletons I felt some steps crumble beneath my feet... Luckily there were only 3 steps so my camera wasn't damaged!
(Anyone visiting here should be careful as the floor is like play doh)
The best part was probably the view from the top, I think on the way down I counted around 600 steps all together so it's a bit of a climb.
History
Short and sweet - In 2002 Tolly Cobbold became part of Ridley's and the Cliff Brewery in Ipswich closed ending 256 years of brewing at that site. The company itself claims a history dating back to 1723 and this site is dedicated to the company, its history, its people and its pubs.

I'm not sure what these hooks were used for... At first I thought meat until I realised where we were.

It took us a while to figure out how to get up there.

Roulette anyone?

It's rare to see this much metal in one place... Ipswich must be posh

Thankyou for taking time to read my report. I can't wait to never visit Ipswich again
