G odtfred Kirk Christiansen (1920 1995) may have been the person to develop and patent the famous LEGO brick design in 1958 but the LEGO story began with a different man some years before he was born. A few kilometres outside of Billund, Denmark a town famous for its connection to the LEGO name and the original LEGOLAND theme park in the Grene Church cemetery, is the final resting place of Ole Kirk Christiansen; Godtfreds father and the father of the LEGO Group.
Ole Kirk (OKC) was born into poverty in the farming community of Filskov, near Billund in 1891 and went on to work as a carpenter honing the skills which would lead to the creation of wooden toys and later plastic building blocks. These intersecting bricks would inspire the development of a system of play synonymous with the LEGO name and the most popular toy of the last 100 years, according to a 2004 survey carried out by the V&A Museum of Childhood.
