The Old Rep in Ipswich has been one of the go-to destinations for nights out in Ipswich over the years - do you remember going back in 2003?

The pub, tucked away in Tower Street near the Sailmakers shopping centre, more recently became known as simply the Rep.

The building’s early life was as a lecture theatre as part of the Liberal Party’s campaign for the education of the working man.
