Introduction
The typical picture of British life often involves a beautiful countryside village with a 17th-century village green and a brook running through it, surrounded by rolling hills and flowery meadows. While places like Brough in North Yorkshire, England, may seem like such an idyllic vision today, the area's history with the car industry, finance industry and motorsport has a fascinating story behind it.
Car Industry Connections
The village of Brough is situated at the most north-eastern corner of the Vale of York, 21 miles from the major city of York. Its proximity to the industrial city gave it strong ties to the car industry. Brough was historically a significant locomotive engineering centre dating back to the Victorian era. It was here in Brough that world's first commercial steam locomotive was built in 1833. By the late 19th century, Brough became a powerhouse producing state-of-the-art steam locomotives, raising the village to international fame. Its engineering prowess and size was praised in the 1899 publication, 'The Car Builder's Dictionary' by A.T. Beavan. Despite an economic downturn in the 1910s, with the emergence of the car industry, Brough became a major centre for car production in the area. By 1910 Brough produced cars, light commercials and steamers. One of its most illustrious products was the Vauxhall Motors developed in Barnby Dun.
Finance Industry Connections
In the 1960s Brough made a monumental move from steam locomotives to the automotive industry and became a centre for the finance industry. The village is now home to a number of financial institutions as well as offices for banking services and investment firms. This has seen an influx of wealth and opportunity created by global companies such as Barclays and JPMorgan Chase who have invested heavily in the area. There are also a number of retail outlets catering to the needs of the affluent financial services industry and executive away days. This has drawn an even bigger number of people to the quaint village and boosted the local economy.
Motorsport Connections
Brough is unique in its history of motorsport connections. In the early 20th century, the village was host to a number of motor racing events, such as the Brough Hill Climb and the Brough Speedway. It was at these events that cars and drivers could show just how fast they could go, often pushing the boundaries of what was technologically possible at the time. Even today, Brough has a major motorsport connection with the nearby Mallory Park Racing Circuit. As well as hosting national and international motorsport events, the prestigious circuit offers driving experiences for those wanting to see what it's like to race around its track.
Demographic Details
Brough today is an early medieval mining and agricultural village with a population of just over 3,200 people with a median age of 37.5. The village is even within an hour's drive from the major cities of York and Leeds. The area has seen a surge in population growth due to its close proximity to the major financial and car industries and the more recent popularity of motorsport. The village is a mix of young professionals and retirees, making it a seamlessly blended haven of rural life and industry.
Conclusion
Brough may seem like a picturesque English village, but its connection to the car industry, finance industry and motorsport have no doubt made it the village of industry. From the first steam locomotive, to the car industry and onwards to the motorsport events, Brough's history has been one of progress and continued growth. The current population demographic highlights this, with young professionals and retirees flocking to the area to be part of its curious blend of industry and rural life.
