57The Aston Martin Marque
Many years ago my grandfather used to tell me stories...
My grandad worked in the same factory from when he was 13 till he was 65 when he retired. At thirteen he used to climb between the cotton machinery and clean it at the weekends when the machinery was not operating. During the week he would do general labouring. During the 1930's the factory became a David Brown works producing tractors and similar farm machinery. It was of course owned by the legendary David Brown. During the war years the factory produced tractors and engines and gears for the war effort. No time was spared and it operated 24/7.
After the war it resumed production of David Brown Tractor. After a while the tractors were sent all ver the world and the company became legendary for some time David Brown was in partnership by a gentleman named Massey who went on to create Massey-Ferguson tractors.
During the1940's 1950's David Brown went onto to produce fine cars starting with the Lagonda now a legendary collectors piece. Other Marques such as the Jensen Interceptor the Aston Martin in all their models became popular with the connoisseur.
My Grandfather retired at 65 the same year I started work. 1972. In the 1990's David Brown tractors were taken over by the CASE group and the factory where my Grandfather worked all his life-was mothballed. The Factory Is now is an empty vandalised shell.
