History
Based in Norwich, IFR was originally founded in 1968; however its research can be traced back almost 100 years to the low temperature research station in Cambridge.
The Institute was based on four sites across the UK:
- Shinfield near Reading in Berkshire
- Lower Langford in North Somerset
- the Long Ashton Research Station in Somerset
- Colney in Norwich
In 1999, it was decided that the research centres should all consolidate on the Norwich Research Park. The site is in the parish of Colney on the B1108, just west of the University of East Anglia.

Figuring the natures of the times deceased,

With a near aim, of the main chance of things
As yet not come to life.”
