Air-Road-Sea Addlestone
The Bleriot-Weyman-Plessey Works 1916 1988

Here is an excellent opportunity for the historian to collect a RARE publication. This item is expensive, so only serious enquiries please!

This is the history, from the beginning until Marconi took over, of the factory complex in Station Road, Addlestone, east of the station
The building was started in 1916 by Louis Bleriot, then at Brooklands, and was added to over the years. by himself and his successors until the seventies. The styles of the additions were not matched, either with the originals or with one another. The account is divided into three parts: the Bleriot Period, the Weyman time and Plessey. Condition: There is a smooth wave/wrinkle across the book, as if left in a damp atmosphere at some point, otherwise the book is in VERY GOOD clean condition
