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.
