The Long Shop Museum was founded in 1984. An accredited museum, it is housed in a cluster of historic buildings in the Suffolk town of Leiston. These form part of the original 19th century works site of Richard Garrett and Sons. Garretts were world-famous manufacturers of steam engines and other agricultural machinery.
The museum displays include engines and machinery from the Garretts works which were a driving force in the Industrial Revolution. Find out about Richard Garrett III who built the first flow-line production, and discover the story of his niece Elizabeth Garrett-Anderson who fought for womens rights.
The Long Shop museum welcomes families of all ages, and holds a wide variety of events throughout the year. In addition, there are also museum trails and themed activity days held during the school holidays and much more!
