There were over seventy motorcycle manufacturers in U.K at one point. Good to see Norton motorcycles who were in Bracebridge st, have returned to the area, an industrial estate off the Stratford road in Shirley. From Bracebridge st they went to Plumstead in London, eventually ending up at Donnington hall before coming back homeJust wondering how many motorcycle manufacturers there were? I know even Vale Onslow made their own bikes once, called the SOS
