Coprolite Street

Looking back along Coprolite Street which leads from the marina and Neptune Quay to Duke Street.

"A coprolite is fossilized animal dung. ... In 19th century England, coprolites were mined on an industrial scale for use as fertiliser due to their high phosphate content. The extraction occurred over the east of England, centred around Cambridgeshire and the Isle of Ely [5][6] with its refining being carried out in Ipswich by the Fison Company.[6] Today, there is a Coprolite Street near Ipswich Docks where the Fisons works once stood."
