:''This article is about the historic house in Kingston upon Hull, England, another 'Blaydes House' is on the List of Registered Historic Places in Kentucky (Pendleton County to Woodford County)'' Blaydes House is a grade II * listed Georgian house in High Street, Kingston upon Hull, England. ==History== Blaydes House was built in the late 1730s or early 1740s (the precise date is unknown) as the residence and business premises of the Blaydes family, one of the leading merchant families in the town and also owners of two shipyards, one on the River Hull, near the house, and another at Hessle Cliff, close to the northern end of the present-day Humber Bridge. The yards turned out vessels for the Royal Navy from the 1740s, but their main output was merchant ships, most famous among which was a collier named ''Bethia'', which was purchased by the Navy in 1787, adapted and renamed ''HMS Bounty''. The Blaydes family were also prominent in town politics, Benjamin Blaydes (whose initials can be seen in a carved monogram in the hallway ceiling) serving as Chamberlain in 1736. The family probably remained at the house until the early nineteenth century, by that time trading as part of the Blaydes Loft Gee & Company partnership. After this firm was wound up the family left Hull and sold the house. Subsequently it was used as office space by a number of local businesses. In May 1941, during the Hull Blitz, a large office building immediately to the south was destroyed by a direct hit, but Blaydes House received only light damage. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Blaydes House」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
