Factory 88,20
Description
A.K. Firearms was founded by Sir John Atterson and Martin Kempster, during the course of World War II to meet the need for British Munitions.
After the war the business continued to thrive, branching into flare gun production and gaining exclusive rights with supply rights to half of Malton's Police Departments. This factory is located in Gibsonton, with the A.K. Firearms offices located next door in The Eades Building. There was a munitions explosion in the factory in 1979, luckily only 3 people were hurt, although the guard dog, Howler, perished.
The factory suffered superficial damage, and was quickly rebuilt. However the old Eades Gallery was badly damaged, and was demolished to make way for The Eades Building.
