Hill & son Old Trafford

I worked on many airframes of Proctors which were originally made by Hill & son,& yet imformation, or pics. of the premises at old Trafford are hard to find.
They made other items which they produced, plus the little know Hillson Bi-mono in 1940 which appeared on the forum sometime ago.

Is there any further info on this firm, who transported their airfames by road, assembled, & flew them at Barton.

They also made the Hillson Praga (licence built Praga Baby) and their own Pennine and Helvellyn light types.

The slip-wing Hurricane deserves a mention also.
