Hughes Bolckow & Co, Battleship Breakers Image Reference: NRO 2674
Hughes Bolckow & Co. were battleship breakers based at Battleship Wharf, Blyth, Northumberland. The company bought in redundant ships, stripped and made furniture and other household goods from the fittings of the ships. It appears that the company had an extensive business and they sold directly from Blyth and from their London showrooms.
