The intersection of Waldingfield Road and County Road (Bay Road) marked an area with tremendous wealth, with the Appleton estate Waldingfield on the west and the Proctor estate on the left. The Tuckerman family owned several elegant properties between Waldingfield Rd. and the Ipswich River. Even today Waldingfield Road with its beautiful stone walls, tree-lined pastures and grand homes is one of the most scenic ways in Ipswich.
