	Stowmarket Official Guide
		At the geographical heart of rural Suffolk and on the River Gipping, lies the Town of Stowmarket.
		The Town is situated some 12 miles North West of Ipswich and 14 miles South East of Bury St. Edmunds and therefore it occupies a strategic location in the centre of the county of Suffolk on the A14 road from the Midlands and the North to the Euro-Port of Felixstowe.
		River traffic inevitably declined after the coming of the railways in 1846 and the Gipping Navigation was closed by an Act of Parliament in 1932.

		I began fishing for river carp almost eight years ago, after becoming disillusioned with the schoolboy antics of so-called fellow carp anglers on stillwaters, and have since found it to be one of the most rewarding types of fishing I have ever undertaken.
		The larger rivers such as the Thames obviously have a larger biomass, and are able to support greater numbers of large carp, but do not let this put you off fishing the smaller rivers of the country.
		These tiny rivers are not to be overlooked by the budding river carper, and will often throw up a surprise or two, to those willing to do their homework.

	Baylham House Farm - Rare Breeds Farm Suffolk
		Every year, both river banks were scythed where necessary from Ipswich to Stowmarket, a single bank distance of some twelve miles, not because it was a public footpath, for it wasn't in those days, but just because it was accepted as good husbandry and was the commonly practiced countryside conservation of those times.
		Walls of stakes and woven branches were often put into the river bed near the banks, either to deflect water and reduce damage from the current or to slow water down and encourage silt deposits in places where such a build up was beneficial.
		The River Gipping management policy of the Environment Agency seems to be based on a requirement to provide a large ditch which will take away the worst of the winter flood water.

	Ipswich Wildlife Group - The Alderman Canal Project
		The original river course continued in a bend past the area where the Civic Centre and Woolsey Theatre now stand (indeed, construction of the present underground car-park was held up by major flooding - not surprising, when one considers this was once a river course!).
		The river then flowed on in its culvert past what is now the Guardian Royal Exchange buildings across Woolsey Street, where the rises in the road can still be seen, then on to the back of Jewsons and finally into the Orwell at Stoke Bridge.
		In the 1960s the river defences were built and but for the foresight of George Alderson of Gipping Anglian Preservation, this area may have been completely filled in.

		The River Gipping was used for navigation as early as the 12th century and it is likely that the stone for the abbey at Bury St. Edmunds was brought part way up the river and taken overland to Bury.

	Do "-ingas" place-names occur in pairs?
		Rivers are indicated by a solid line and ancient roads (mainly Roman) by a broken line.
		Seething (Sitha-ingas) lies in the south east of the county and the river* Chet forms part of the parish boundary although the village itself is on slightly higher ground overlooking the river valley.
		One possible explanation might be that these were meeting places for the group in the same way as the later hundreds had their meeting places, and this gave the name to the settlement.

	River Gipping
		The river Gipping is fishable for about ten miles from Stowmarket to Ipswich where it becomes tidal and changes it's name to the River Orwell.

	Walk #107: Stowmarket to Ipswich
		Unfortunately the river does not go through the centre of the town and so I did not get to see much of it, but the parts I could see were all very nice.
		In 1794 the River Gipping was made navigable to boats as the Ipswich and Stowmarket Navigation.
		Employment is currently dominated by the factories that line (and themselves dominate) the early stages of the River Gipping as it heads towards the sea, although I doubt that the river plays such an important part in the town’s industry as it used to.

		An earlier Anglo-Saxon settlement in the vicinity lay on the west bank of the River Gipping, but seems to have been no more than a few farms.

		The Wuffingas, who had a royal residence in the area, were the probable agents of this foundation, with the intent to create a port/market to supply their needs for imported goods.

	Broadmeadow development, Ipswich UK, J G Land & Estates - Your questions answered
		Other factors in favour of housing are good public transport, walking and cycling facilities to Ipswich and vehicle access through the A14, in addition to an adjacent superstore to the east.
		In addition, the plans include maintaining and improving natural assets like the Chantry Cut, river walk, and the 'Island' which is to be developed as a nature reserve.
		One of the key improvements we hope to provide is upgrading the River Gipping pedestrian/cycle route which would link the site directly with Ipswich city centre and the railway station.
