Blackburn
Aircraft Company
The site at Brough dates back to
1916 when the Blackburn Aeroplane & Motor Company built a new
factory here. The company flourished through the war years and the
proximity of the River Humber meant the factory was ideally situated for
the launching of seaplanes. In the years between WW1 and WW2 the company's reputation grew and in 1939
became Blackburn Aircraft Ltd.
