The workaday town of Leiston is not generally considered among Suffolk’s top places to visit. Which is a pity, because the Long Shop Museum hosts an authentic and atmospheric icon of the 19th-century, the Leiston Works, which produced steam-driven machinery and exported its products all over the world. Not only that but the founder’s daughters, Elizabeth Garrett Anderson and Millicent Fawcett, became two of the most famous and influential women of their age.
Insider’s tip: Stroll down to Sizewell and enjoy a hot drink in the shadows of the nuclear power station at Sizewell Tea, a proper beach café with decent food too.
