THE GREAT WHITE HORSE HOTEL, IPSWICH.
The capital town of Suffolk has a Scandinavian name, and is prominent as a centre of agricultural and engineering work. It contains many streets largely consisting of old timber-built houses of mediaeval aspect, though traversed by tram-lines; but Tavern Street, here represented, is interesting for the description given by Dickens in Pickwick" of the "Great White Horse," an inn which he often visited, and where he makes Mr. Pickwick wander into the wrong bed-room in the great building, of which he says, "never were such labyrinths of uncarpeted passages." George II also stayed at this inn in 1736, and Nelson with Lady Hamilton in 1800.
