Civic Centre, Ipswich Borough Council's former HQ, opened in 1972 and has been empty since last September 2007. Demolition has now begun to make way for a new "plush" retail area. Visted with FiedlyM, over looked by Ipswich Police who's constant fag breaks made over the edge shots difficult on their side ;)

Outstanding views of Ipswich, a fine place to watch the sun set and the night creep in.

Lots of lovely trip hazards on the roof :D

Off down into the basement we went, its very large with empty racks for Council paper work, racks and racks and racks, room after room, then down another level to the engineering section....

Porn wall.... Keeping Britain running and councils warm.

And his impressive three mates!

Not pictured but notable features include a large secure vault in the basement, with an even more secure vault within it, rather impressive combination lock/key lock doors and internal cage doors. Also the mother of all diesel fuel tanks that takes up two floors worth of height lurks in the basement.

Is it just me or does that roundabout look like the ITV World Of Sport logo?

You're right, it does! I've heard there's a walk on walk off lift thing in here. No doors, just moves up and down and you have to jump on and off while it's still moving!

A paternoster lift, long since replaced with a boring conventional lift.
