Is the fledgling web site for the Long Shop Museum (housed in the workshops of Garrett's of Leiston.
Major employer in the area making steam and traction engines.

Just finished reading a great book about the Garrett girls - just as enterprising as the lads - think Elizabeth Garrett Anderson and Millicent (Garrett) Fawcett.

Is the web site with photographs of Suffolk history.  I went to a meeting towards the end of last year and this web site is due to be completely overhauled and hopefuly made more user friendly, with lots more resources being added too.

If you click on search and enter Garrett's and links to 29 photographs come up.
