View of the corner of Tavern Street and Upper Brook Street in Ipswich in 1956, dominated by the striking black-and-white timber-framed Berners building. At street level, the shopfront signage advertises Berners, with departments including gowns, blouses and women’s wear, reflecting the role of the store as a prominent mid-century Ipswich retailer.
Pedestrians, cyclists and passing cars animate the scene, capturing the busy commercial character of Tavern Street before later pedestrianisation and retail redevelopment. Despite changes in use and ownership, the Berners building itself survives, making this photograph an important record of Ipswich’s historic shopping streets and their continuity beneath changing retail brands.
