Richard Garrett & Sons museum

The Long Shop Museum

The Long Shop Museum is an industrial heritage museum in the town of Leiston in the English county of Suffolk.[1] The museum features the history of Richard Garrett & Sons who manufactured a wide range of industrial and agricultural machinery, steam engines, and electric vehicles. The museum also celebrates the social history of a rural community that grew to be central to the Industrial Revolution.

The Museum is housed in some of the remaining buildings of Garrett's Leiston Town Works. The centre-piece "Long Shop" was constructed in 1852 as the first purpose-built flow-line assembly workshop for the manufacture of portable steam engines. It consists of an open central area, and fitters' galleries on the level of the first floor.[2][3] The building is a Grade II* listed building.[3][4]
