Barker's Cycle Works - MOT00334
Description
Repairs Department. Publicity photograph for Barker's Cycle Works, also known as Phoenix Cycle Works, at Millwood, 1902. In 1909 the Barker family moved to Bolton and set up a business selling and repairing motor cars.
The Phoenix Cycle Works, run by Herman Edgar Barker and his brother Trevelyan, was in existence for only a few years. The brothers were among the first in the area to acquire motor vehicles - they owned two and three-wheel varieties as well as the model shown here - and recognising the potential, moved to Bolton where they established themselves in the motor trade.
