Blakes Lavac Taylors Limited can trace its history back to 1798, when it began business in Gosport, Hampshire as Blake & Sons, providing a range of metal work for boats of that period. A catalogue still in the company's possession, from about a century later, shows a wide range of equipment including cookers, stoves and smaller general chandlery items.
