Unicorn weathervane - Foundation Street - Ipswich, Suffolk - Unique Weathervanes on Waymarking.com

A weathervane in the shape of a unicorn at the top of the former Unicorn Brewery.

'The Unicorn hotel on Orwell Place was part of the sizeable brewery behind it dating to 1886. However, a brewer possibly on this site is listed as early as 1839 with Nathaniel Catchpole & Co. listed as owners in 1865. The whole group of impressive Unicorn buildings (which included a small theatre, we're told) embody an important part of Ipswich history: brewing. There was also a Steam Brewery built and run by Charles Cullingham in 1856 and bought by the Tollemache brothers in 1888 which was opposite the Unicorn, on the site of the car park behind the former Woolworth store. There were many other small breweries throughout the town over the decades.'
