Original photographs of 1939 dig go on display at Sutton Hoo

Original photographs of the 1939 archaeological dig at Sutton Hoo have gone on display at the site, thought to be the final resting place of King Raedwald who ruled in the seventh century.

Ms Lack and Ms Wagstaff took more than 400 photographs, around 60% of the total number of the recorded contemporary negatives from the excavation.The King’s Mound treasure, including the Sutton Hoo helmet, is now displayed at the British Museum in London. Mr Clark said the original photographs will be displayed until June 3, when they will be swapped out for replicas and digital versions.

“Though the drawing room in Tranmer House is free from UV light, photographs can still be damaged by visible light , but the biggest consideration for this display was temperature, as high temperatures can be particularly damaging.
