  • | Exhibition

The opening day of an exhibition based on our oral history project to capture the memories of those who worked at Richard Garrett Engineering as the business neared the end of its 200 year history.

The day will offer a first look at newly curated audio and video media, as well as transcriptions and interpretation material. Relive the last days of the business that built Leiston through the reminiscences of the people who built the business. The exhibition will run until the end of our season in November, but this is an opportunity to experience it with free entry to the whole museum.
