A large fire has broken out at the site of an old Victorian brewery, sending plumes of thick smoke into the air.
It took hold on Sunday afternoon at the Grade II-listed Tolly Cobbold site on Ipswich waterfront.
Drivers were warned to avoid the area, which had been the site of a proposed £40m development plan for more than 200 homes and a theatre.
Landseer Road and Sandy Hill Lane were closed, and motorists were urged to drive carefully by police.
Suffolk Fire and Rescue service sent 15 crews to the scene.
A spokesman said fire had broken out in some of the higher floors of the building and the roof.
It was later said to be under control, although crews were expected to remain at the scene throughout the night.
