British Sugar purchased the site in 1924
and commenced construction of its factory, with its prominent
silos and chimney visible from miles around. In early 2001
the factory finally closed and in 2004 it was bought by JG
Land & Estates.
Chosen to reflect the site’s heritage,
the Broadmeadow name conjures up the aims and ideals of the
development. A name that seeks to respond to its history
whilst offering the opportunity to place it back into the
context of its more attractive surroundings and provide a
catalyst for the further improvement of this corner of Ipswich.
We researched historic maps for this site and found two predominant
features; the Devil’s Wood and the name of the
island site, the Great Broad Meadow.
