More about this scene
In Anglo-Saxon this place was known as 'burh', meaning 'fortified place'; its present prosperity rests firmly in the 20th century. The Blackburn Aircraft Company opened its first factory in 1916; as the company expanded, becoming a major employer, many more people were attracted to the thriving village.
