Obviously there’s Ipswich in Suffolk and I did know that that there an Ipswich in Queensland and in Massachusetts. But I don’t know about the one in Jamaica or in South Dakota.
Which got me thinking - Has anyone been to more than one Ipswich? |  | | |  |

I've been to Ipswich, Mass. Had loads of photos taken around the place wearing the late 80s orange shirt.
Got quite a nice beach.
But that's it so far. |  |

I visited the one in Massachusetts by accident in 1986.
The mansion/house used in the Witches of Eastwick film is part of the Crane Hall estate next to the town of Ipswich. Done some work there for their national trust. |  |

I’ve not been to another Ipswich, but I have been to Suffolk County (NY).
On that note, I wonder if Norfolk Virginia is also full of toothless simpletons with an inferiority complex… | | | |

I went there in 1999. Spent about half an hour getting some
Photos then got the train back to Brisbane. It was a Sunday and nothing was open. Makes ipswich Suffolk look like Monte Carlo |  | | |

Sounds like the other Ipswiches haven't quite lived up to our one back home! At least we've got the castle and the schools to make it somewhat interesting. | | | |

A large chunk of Boston actually is in Suffolk County, but obviously the city has sort of swallowed it up.
Also amusingly, it is bordered by Essex and Norfolk still, but they somehow conspired to put them the wrong way round, so Essex is to the North and Norfolk is to the South! |  | | |

New England has shed loads of places with similar name places - go to Boston and you'll see signs for Braintree, Cambridge, Ipswich - sure there's loads more.
And like you say, Aus has plenty of UK named places - had a beer in Newcastle north of Sydney.
Then you can go the other way - Melbourne in Derbyshire is a tad smaller than it's namesake in Aus. |  |

Was in a dive bar in Atlanta in 2022 wearing my black out shirt and a bloke comes up to me saying “no way dude! You’re from Ipswich?!!” And I smugly replied - “why yes I am!”. Before he said “so how long is it since you’ve been back to Massachusetts?!”
Also when in Brisbane a few years back I remember seeing their Ipswich in the morning news regularly for various murders and domestic abuse incidents - sounds like a real dodgy area in Australia! |  | | |

Am I right in thinking Ipswich in Massachusetts also has a bay
I went on a date with an American from that part of the world and she was saying Ipswich over there is quite pretty but was run by the mob for while, she was saying it had cleaned up it's image again and was on the way up
That must be about 10 years ago now |  |

I went to Pennsylvania once.
South Gloucestershire, car was on fumes and never been so happy to see a Shell garage. |  | | |

Visited Ipswich, Massachusetts in about 1987ish.
Most bizarre experience, I was in a shop in the town and mentioned that I supported Ipswich Town - cue much excitement, the storekeeper called the local paper who came to take a picture of me. I can only assume that they thought by 'supporting' I was in some way involved with the club.
Got given some Ipswich Tigers merch (think it was their high school athletics team) to take away. |  | | |

Wonder if California was named after the sunny uplands of that part of Ipswich? | |

Went to the one in Oz… absolute waste of time, nothing there
Edit. Just been informed by the wife that we didn’t go there. Was sure we did, but apparently I said ‘it’ll be sht, nothing could beat the real Ipswich’
Which I can hear myself saying to be fair. [Post edited 16 Jan 13:41]

Not sure whether I’m going to get a whoosh but California, Ipswich was named after California, USA as a result of the gold rush over there. | | | |
