The
Ipswich Dock, (also
the waterfront,
Ipswich wet dock and
the wet dock,) is the area of land around the
dock in the town of
Ipswich at a bend of the
River Orwell which has been used for trade since at least the 8th Century. A
wet dock was constructed in 1842 which was 'the biggest enclosed dock in the kingdom' at the time. A major regeneration of the area has taken place since 1999.
