THE ICA BUILDING

The Ipswich Caribbean Association building (ICA) on Woodbridge Road had been a community centre and social club since the early 1970s, hosting fitness and martial arts classes, dominoes clubs, dance nights, elders’ luncheon clubs, and much more.

It served traditional Caribbean cuisine, was the home of the Suffolk Samba Band, and provided supplementary school education to children and young people.

It closed in 2010, and was demolished in 2012.
