The austere URC church on Ipswich Street
A Postcard from Stowmarket, Suffolk - 5th July 2022
The Tuesday morning bike ride is extended by adding in a there-and-back to Stowmarket, after it was realised that it's only an additional six miles from Cotton. That makes it 32 miles around, which is a bit more of a stomp than usual, but it gives a chance to have a look around the town which was previously known mostly for its railway station, and some early 2000s visits to sticky-carpet nightclub Browns and/or Jokers. On the last leg, through Eye, a few of the Piggy Tail Trail pigs are spotted.
