Yes, that is the company who make them, but it was not their name on the blades.
The site they occupy was where the hovercrafts were made....it has a huge Union Flag painted on the wall.

Aarhus is Jutland Denmark, and not "in the middle of our street".

No, this is the first time I have seen that.
I have been looking for the picture I took, but I think it might have been on a hard drive that fried its brain(Mick did his best to rescue what was on it but to no avail).
Anyway, I can't find the shot I was looking for.

Re: Today in pictures

The Tentering Tower or The Wet Tower at Stubbins near Ramsbottom (a Grade II listed building) was a cloth store used by the nearby Porritt's Mill, originally a single storey building, a second storey with battlements on 3 sides was added later. Cloth from the mill would be hung on long tenter-frames in the field to the rear of it. Nearby there is a small quarry, now used as an allotment, that I assume was used for the building material of the tower.

1/ and 2/ Exterior of the Tentering Tower
3/ The Roof Line of the second storey
4/ Post Holes for beams for the second storey floor, also cast iron guttering near the top.
5/ and 6/ At some point the ground floor was converted to a stable, so I'm assuming that these metal objects hammered into the wall were part of the stable fittings
7/ Exterior showing ground floor arched entrance and stairs to the second storey.
8/ On the path to the tower were the remains of a cobbled path with a central gulley.

Woollen cloth was attached to the tenter frame by tenterhooks at the selvage ("self-finished" edge of fabric) whilst it was drying to prevent it from becoming misshapen; which is were the phrase 'being on tenterhooks comes from'.
