A Love Letter to East Suffolk
The Hold - Home of Suffolk Archives, Ipswich, IP4 1LN
Thursday 11th February 2027 7:00PM
Richard Allenby-Pratt is an award-winning photographer who has been recording rural life in Suffolk for the last 8 years for ‘The Suffolk Project’ which can be viewed on instagram @thesuffolkproject or his website www.thesuffolkproject.co.uk
For the last year, much of Richard’s efforts have been directed at photographing the changes in the landscape made by energy infrastructure works, and recording interviews with the people impacted by them. The project was supported by East Suffolk District Councillors, in collaboration with The Long Shop Museum, Leiston and has now been accepted into the archives at The Hold.
In his ‘Love Letter to East Suffolk’ series of talks, Richard is sharing his beautiful photographs of East Suffolk and talking about what he has learned along the way: about the landscapes, wildlife, people, traditions and industries of the coastal area. He’ll also touch upon the impacts recent energy projects have had on the area and the ’sense of place and loss’ felt by many residents.
