Following a very successful talk to the Aldeburgh Society by Jenny Cousins the Director of the Food Museum in Stowmarket, a visit has been arranged for 30th August 2024 for members of the Aldeburgh Society and the Aldeburgh and District Local History Society. The museum was known as the Museum of East Anglian Life from 1967 until it became the Food Museum in 2022. The Museum is set across 84 acres of glorious Suffolk countryside. It has 17 fascinating buildings to explore and close to 40,000 objects in its collection – from wartime ration recipes to a full size steam-powered mill engine. On the day of this visit the Watermill which was restored in 2022 should be running. For more information and to book click HERE
