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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I cannot be much pleased without an appearance of truth; at least of possibility—I wish the history to be natural though the sentiments are refined; and the characters to be probable, though their behaviour is excelling.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“The history of work has been, in part, the history of the worker’s body. Production depended on what the body could accomplish with strength and skill. Techniques that improve output have been driven by a general desire to decrease the pain of labor as well as by employers’ intentions to escape dependency upon that knowledge which only the sentient laboring body could provide.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
