- Upper Orwell Street
John A Green was born in Ipswich in 1932, son of a Master Mason. John gained his Master Mason Certificate in 1951. He studied at Ipswich School of Art (1951-54) and the Royal College of Art (1954-57), where he was encouraged by Prof. John Skeaping. From 1957 until 1959 he was assistant to Jacob Epstein. His main run of work is the restoration of church monuments.
His works in Ipswich have included a stone bearing a symbolic map of the Orwell Estuary with outstanding features depicted in engraved slate, which used to stand just inside the lower foyer of the Council's old Headquarters, the Civic Centre, and this bronze panel on a brick plinth in Upper Orwell Street, which symbolises the technical development in foundry methods during the fifty years since the firm Cranes came to Ipswich.
