Online Shop

Below are some of the fantastic products available in our shop, along with an order form that can be downloaded if you would like to purchase any of these.

Sirapite CD - Over 120 years ago, the Leiston Royal British Legion band started life associated with the Richard Garrett Engineering Works in Leiston. Only £10 each.

Given their association with the works, the band decided to record a CD of brass band favourites which celebrates that close relationship, and also the return to the Long Shop of the very rare shunting engine, Sirapite, restored to full working order by Trevor Wrench with much assistance from volunteers and many local engineering firms.

The Concert March Sirapite, and the Slow March Main Street were commissioned by Leiston RBL Band from Suffolk composer and railway enthusiast Stewart Green to mark this special occasion.

The grandeur of the Concert March Sirapite is an indication of the machine's engineering importance, whilst Main Street depicts the little engine slowly trundling across the road - a man with a red flag holding up the traffic while she passes.

Proceeds from the sale of this CD will support the work of the Long Shop Museum and the Leiston British Legion Band.

The Big Freeze, Leiston, Suffolk - A unique collection of photographs of Leiston recording the Big Freeze on January 8th 2010. Limited Edition - £7.50 each.

Who could forget Friday 8th January 2010 when people all over Britain woke up on to the worst winter conditions for nearly 30 years?

With the exceptionally heavy snowfall overnight and sub-zero temperatures during the day, travel on the roads and by public transport was severely restricted and most schools remained closed. Temperatures in some parts of Britain were colder than the South Pole!

Despite the bitterly cold temperatures and a biting wind Stephen Mael, Manager of the Long Shop Museum and his colleague Simon Middleditch set out by foot, with camera in hand to record Leiston under a blanket of snow which was up to 20cms (8ins) deep in places.

Their selection of 150 photographs have now been produced on CD (playable on computer or television) providing a remarkable record of the town as a winter wonderland!

So don't miss out on this unique photographic record of Leiston as it has been produced as a LIMITED EDITION of 100 copies, each costing £7.50 with all net proceeds from the sale for the benefit of the Long Shop Project Trust, a registered charity (No 283444).
