Decades after its factory closed, the Yorkshire village of Meltham is still known for its association with David Brown tractors
Roger Brearton pictured on 1943 David Brown Vak1 Tractor, this model was the 1st design and build by David Brown at the David Brown Tractor Club Museum, Meltham."People are always coming to us with stuff they have found in their attics and asking us if we would like to put it on show. There is a real enthusiasm.
The club has long been in existence but recently moved from another site in Meltham to the current site where around 20 tractors are on show, together with information such as Queen’s award for exports and brochures. The company broke new ground which others were only to follow later, but being a pioneering company ultimately led to its downfall.
