Description

Leiston er en engelsk by i den non-metropolitan distrikter East Suffolk i Suffolk, nær Saxmundham og Aldeburgh, cirka 2 miles fra Nordsøkysten, 21 miles nordøst for Ipswich og 90 miles nordøst for London. Byen havde en befolkning på 5.508 ved folketællingen i 2011.
Leiston blomstrede i slutningen af det 19. og begyndelsen af det 20. århundrede som en produktionsby, domineret af Richard Garrett & Sons, ejere af Leiston Works, som havde verdens første flow samlebånd til fremstilling af portable dampmaskiner. Firmaet fremstillede også damptraktorer og et stort udvalg af støbte og bearbejdede metalprodukter, herunder ammunition under begge verdenskrige. Værket lukkede i 1981, og stedet blev genbrugt som en blanding af boliger, lejligheder og industrielle områder. Long Shop Museum, der viser historien, køretøjerne og produkterne fra værket, forbliver som en kulturarvs turistattraktion.
