The proposal to create a 'Gipeswic Centre' on the waterfront, dedicated to telling the story of England's first town, and first advanced in a bid to the Millennium Commission, should remain an objective in some form. This would need to be co-ordinated with whatever display Ipswich Museum proposes but could concentrate on the maritime history of Ipswich from the 7th to 20th centuries. Such a display would be best housed at or close to the waterfront, perhaps in one of the many ground floor 'commercial' unit overlooking the river.
