Philippa Stewart
P.Stewart@uea.ac.uk
Research project: The lives and achievements of two brothers, Richard and Newson Garrett who, in the 19th century, built up substantial businesses in a small corner of East Suffolk. Unravelling their story reveals a tale of Victorian enterprise that is all the more surprising for the setting in which it took place. I will be reflecting this by embedding their story in the local environment, writing them into the landscape in a way that has not been done before, and throwing new light on the links between the area's history and what it looks like today.
