Wright Brothers
Just over a century ago in June 1909, two famous Americans arrived in Brentwood. Their faces were familiar, having made front page headlines in world press. They were Wilbur and Orville Wright. Six years earlier they had made history by becoming the world’s first aviators. They were in London that summer, promoting their great achievement and no doubt paid a visit to Mary Green Manor in Brook Street, where their ancestors, the Wright family had lived centuries earlier.
