Stoke, Suffolk
Stoke is a residential and commercial area in the south west of the town of Ipswich, Suffolk.
Stoke lies to the south west of Ipswich town centre. The longest populated area, just over the river from the town centre, is called Over Stoke.
Stoke is full of suburban housing estates, including Maidenhall, Stoke Park, Chantry, Belstead Hills, and part of Pinewood.
Its ancient boundaries were the River Gipping to the north, which becomes the River Orwell to the east. The area extended south to Belstead Brook, and west to the London Road (A1214).
For administrative and electoral purposes, the area next to Stoke Bridge, is Bridge Ward. The area near Bourne Bridge is Stoke Park Ward.
Where the River Orwell swells out over mud to form a lagoon, a western ridge runs parallel for over a mile. It is 164 feet above sea level at its highest point, the highest point in Ipswich. Where the ridge meets the river, close to the town centre, it drops steeply and the river narrows to ordinary dimensions and is renamed as the River Gipping.
The view of the town which can be obtained from Stoke Hills is extremely interesting and delightful, one well calculated to call up many thoughts of the past, and to hazard many conjectures of the future. (William J. Monk)
Near Stoke Bridge, Grade I listed Anglican church St Mary at Stoke is on Stoke Street, which leads into Belstead Road. There is a Co-op and adjacent parade of shops and food outlets. On New Cut is the Steamboat Tavern.
