Hello
ODK history lovers
Apart from the bricks and mortar, and a much smaller presence,
only the memories remain of the once great
Ransomes’ Ipswich Works in the county of Suffolk, East Anglia, England.
Ransomes – in the day – had
31 acres of factory space!![[Linked Image]](https://www.outdoorking-forum.com.au/forum/images/jack/ransomes/ransomes_factory_1960s.jpg)
Ransomes did pretty much everything in-house at this facility: design, testing,
foundry, machining, assembly and dispatch. It was a huge business!
Today this area – expanded – is now known as the
Ransomes Industrial Park,
and it is comprised of light industrial, logistics, retailers and offices.
