​Thanks very much for the info and interesting story.....Geoff

Yes thanks I have seen nearly all the big ones, I need more detail about the smaller ones. I appreciated all help...Geoff

I think Sun were but I am fairly sure Raleigh were only in Nottingham, but thanks for your help... Geoff

Thanks for your reply, it's a good starting point for me...Geof

It has been a long time since I visited the Forum - goodness knows why? I am very interested in old bicycles and have owned a few however I have very little knowledge of their history, hence the question. Can anyone point me to a good source of answers to manufacturers in Birmingham and near...

Your help and interest is much appreciated. Stoke Prior has always come under Bromsgrove and is ajacent to Stoke Works. Thanks, geoff

Dear Arkright, You are a star, you have not spoilt my fun but taught me how to research these matters - I am new to this detective work and don't know where to start. The old map site is excellent - thank you very much. Geoff

Thank you for your interest time and trouble, I really appreciate the help. I am sure that you are right about the different railway companies but do not think it was under the Industrial estates as the line[s] run on the opposite side of the canal. Geoff

A gang of us 11/12 year olds use to go every week from King's Norton Station to Tamworth or Rugby. Reading all the replies has brought back vivid images but I have lost all my records. I certainly remember our excitement seeing a Princess or Coronation Class - thanks for jogging my memory

Yes that's very helpful, thank you, I knew about the closure but not that it became a goods depot nor that it burned down in 1929. I still have no idea where it was or why there were 2 stations in such close proximity unless the Stoke Works Halt was for the sole use of the Salt Company - nothing...

Thanks for all your help with Stoke Works Halt but can anyone throw any light on Stoke Prior Station which closed in 1855?

Thanks Mike, I cannot express my thanks enough, I have been trying to find this photo for 6months or more. Geoff

Thank you very much for your photo, do you know where I could get a copy? Geoff

I am trying to find a photograph of the station at Stoke Prior near Bromsgrove - can anyone help please?

Thank you very much for the information and your kind offer. I will keep your details and arrange to have a look at your book but for the moment I am very happy that it seems there was a ladies bicycle made between those dates as a no. 2. I was really afraid that someone had swopped the badge...

Thanks Lencops. I had not seen that article before. Geoff

Thanks Lloyd, I found my initial info from that site, as you will see it talks only of a 1910 Ladies bike that looks the same as mine but would have a different badge due to No. 2's only being built in 1903/4. Thanks anyway for your interest. Geoff

Does anyone know anything about Rover bikes? I have this ladies bike, the brass badge of which says Rover Meteor no.2. I have found out that No. 2's were made between 1903 and 1904 only but seem to be only for men. I want to know if there was a ladies model. Can anyone help?

thanks Lloyd.
