The Long Shop Museum

The Long Shop Museum is a unique example of industrial innovation in the heart of rural Suffolk! The museum is housed in the world’s first building purpose built to contain a production line process. Home to a fascinating array of products manufactured at the Leiston Works, it also tells the remarkable story of the Garrett dynasty, and the community that built up around the works over two hundred years. It is open for 7 months of the year with an active event programme for all ages which strengthens local ties and celebrates British engineering and manufacturing.
