Borin will talk about Ipswich’s historic lettering and ghost signs on the streets we merrily pass by without even noticing. He uncovers hidden urban archaeology and shares fascinating stories & long lost tales that’ll probably have you bumping into other people and lamp-posts, as you go and discover what he found.

Borin Van Loon, British author, painter, illustrator and comic book artist has been photographing examples of old lettering on the walls of buildings in and around Ipswich since the 1990s. In this talk, Borin will focus on a wide range of signs and lettering which evoke the rich past of Ipswich and its people, which adds to the story of the town’s development from an ancient port to a major industrial town and commercial centre. The talk will also include material from contributors to the Ipswich Historic Lettering website, a special project devised and developed by Borin.
