Suffolk Geocene

Stoke Tunnel SSSI Panel

This community panel, sponsored by Abbey New Homes with information provided by GeoSuffolk, is now in place on site by Worsdell Close, just south of Stoke railway tunnel in Ipswich.

When the tunnel approach was dug in the 1840s no one expected to find elephants! These and many other 210,000 year old fossils are celebrated on this board.
