Vera Florence Alice Bryan (9 June 1917 - 16 October 2013) was a British businessperson who was the co-founder and a director of Drayton Manor Theme Park. She co-founded the company with her husband George, in 1949. ==Career highlights== After leaving school at the age of 14, Mrs Bryan began working at California-in-England Pleasure Park in Berkshire, which was owned by her father, and by 1935, Vera had taken over the running of the tea shop with all the responsibilities that role involved.〔Coin Community (16 October 2013) (Coin Community: Mrs Vera Bryan, obituary ). Coin Community〕 However, following the outbreak of the Second World War, California-in-England was shut and the restaurant was converted into a factory manufacturing aircraft parts. Mrs Bryan understood her duty and swapped her apron for overalls and spent five years working at the factory, much of the time as a welder. It was in May 1942 that Vera met her husband, Mr George Bryan and they married in December that year. California-in-England reopened after the end of the war but by the late 1940s and inspired by her father’s business, Mrs Bryan and her husband were ready to embark on their own legacy – Drayton Manor Theme Park. 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「Vera Bryan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
