Photos
A Place To Call Home is being created in the heart of Ipswich. I have purchased a block of land that used to be the Old School built in 1887. Originally the Old Scool was built to teach Welsh to the children. I have taken some photographs of the buildings of the Old School. In these photos you will see the original buildings. These buildings are over 100 years old.
