    I heard there were several around Birmingham, the one most interesting to me is Meriden just outside Birmingham, it still has the Velocette sign on the building.

    'Lions Saddles' factory. (bike saddles)

    Does anyone know of such a factory? The only info I have is that I have seen an antique leather saddle with 'LION' on the sidestamped logos.

    I'd heard of them but knew nothing about them, I found out today that they were a Birmingham company. Does anyone have more details?

    Bicycle saddle factories: Wrights, Leatheries, Lycett, Mansfield

    Any information on these, years in production, location, does the building still exist, if not what is there now? Did you work there, what was it like? Also, Middlemore, did they have a Birmingham saddle factory? (I know they had one in Coventry).
