On a still, cool evening in August a party of 35 members and guests paid a visit to the Museum of East Anglian Life at Stowmarket. The exhibits span several decades of rural life and engineering experience in the local area. They ranged from early printing (visitors were able to take away cards and posters printed on very early printing machines) to exhibits in the Bone building which houses the story of Ransomes, Sims and Jefferies, the world famous lawn mower and agricultural machinery company.
Many of the buildings located on the site have been moved from their original location to the museum including an Alton water mill, a chapel from Moulton, a smithy from Grundisburgh, making the museum a Mecca for all those interested in historic and industrial bygones.
A truly good visit for both young and old.
