Leiston
Leiston is an English community in the East Suffolk non-metropolitan district of Suffolk, near Saxmundham and also Aldeburgh, about 2 miles (3 km) from the North Sea shore, 21 miles (34 km) north-east of Ipswich and 90 miles (145 km) north-east of London. The community had a population of 5,508 at the 2011 Census. Since the closure of Garrett's, the town's economic situation has actually been controlled by two nuclear power stations on the coast at Sizewell: the now decommissioned Magnox activators of Sizewell An and also the much more modern-day Pressurised Water Reactor of Sizewell B. A number of smaller companies run from industrial areas within the town. Leiston's High Street serves as business and also market center of the bordering agricultural district. The community's facilities consist of a post office, collection, banks, pubs as well as a range of stores and also various other services. Leiston Film Theatre, a half-timbered structure with road front stores, is the oldest purpose-built cinema in Suffolk. The cinema is possessed as well as run by Leiston-cum-Sizewell Town Council and sustained by the Leiston Film Theatre Support Club, which has actually raised money for stage refurbishment as well as enabled the cinema to set up the most recent electronic 3D projection system.
