Blaydes House - a Brief History
From
medieval times until the nineteenth century, High
Street was the home of some of the most important
merchant, ship-building and seafaring trade families
in Hull.
The Blaydes were one of these families. They were engaged in shipbuilding and built the house as their family home and business headquarters in the 1730's.
The famous - or perhaps infamous - Bounty was one of many vessels built right here at the Blaydes shipyard.
