Poets Cottages

38-46 Milton Street
Ipswich Historic Lettering: Poets Cottages 1
These cottages pre-date the Freehold Land Society's California Estate development of housing to the east of Ipswich. It is interesting to envisage the landscape here before the FLS development started in 1850. These small farm workers' cottages would have stood more-or-less alone  surrounded by the sheep fields of the Cauldwell Hall estate. Presumably a track from Spring Road gave access to the cottages and the FLS followed the line and built the roadway into California's grid-iron of streets.
