Background Information

The East Anglian Museum of Rural Life is located in Stowmarket, Suffolk. The website for the Museum, www.eastanglianlife.org.uk, has the following information about the Boby Building at the Museum: 'The building’s design shows an interesting mixture of urban and rural styles. The cast iron window frames on the ground floor are typical of industrial buildings; the white weather boarding and pantiled roof reflect a style popular in the countryside. Perhaps this can be seen as representative of the work that went on inside this building: an industrial, urban process producing rural, agricultural equipment.'
