Seckford Hospital Almshouses designed in 1834 by C.R. Cockerell and completed in 1842 by James Noble, in brick with stone dressings.  The Dutch-style gables are a popular feature in east Suffolk.  Viewed from Bridgewood Road above the roofs of 1970s housing on the site of former orchards.

Turreted residence This stair turret with its conical cap, an unusual feature in a suburban residence, seems to have been inspired by the round towers of many nearby Suffolk churches.  Located by the Driftway between Seckford Street and Bridgewood Road, it bears the date 2007.

The former Queen's Head The old pub in Seckford Street has been converted into a pair of dwellings but the empty bracket for the inn sign and the name of the steep lane at the side are clues to the building's former use.

Plaque on the Seckford Dispensary "Founded 1861, Erected 1886, Converted 1979 - conversion by C.V. Aldous".  The Latin motto "Orationes et eleemosynæ ascendunt in memoriam coram Deo" translates as "Prayers and alms rise up for a remembrance before God."

The dispensary was designed by Ernest Carritt, architect to the Seckford charity, and is now converted into residential flats.  For a general view see <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1280834">TM2649 : Seckford Dispensary</a>.

The Bell Inn, New Street, Woodbridge Now called Ye Olde Bell and Steelyard. The steelyard is a weighing device, and it is on a gantry projecting from the right-hand end of the building (not visible in this image). New Street was new in 1550, and the inn was probably built in the second half of the 16C. There is an old house of similar vintage a little further down the road.
