The James Motorbike Facts

The James Cycle Company Ltd was formed in Birmingham on the 22nd May 1897 by one Harry (Henry William) James.
The James factory was bombed and badly damaged in 1940 but, incredibly, was rebuilt within three months and more than 6000 machines were eventually supplied for military use by the end of the war.
The James factory began as a highly-successful manufacturer of high-wheel (penny farthing) bicycles at the The James Cycle Co. Works at 121 Constitution Hill in Birmingham UK.
The company began building motorized bicycles in 1902, powered by the Belgian-made 2 hp, 239 cc Minerva clip-on motor, and designed by Frederick Kimberley.
The company motto for “The James,” or the “Famous James” as it came to be known was “distinctive in design… dependable in service,”
In 1951, the James Cycle Company was acquired by Associated Motorcycles Ltd. (AMC) due to financial difficulties.
The first James two stroke appeared around 1913 and the company had, by then a fair reputation for well made and sturdy machines, with models suitable for solo or sidecar work.
When the factory gates finally closed in1966 it brought to an end a long line of highly regarded motorcycles.

Contracted this company to clear the flat of my deceased mother. Two young guys cleared EVERYTHING out of the rented property, including furniture, carpets, ornaments, white goods and food/household products, politely, efficiently, and respectfully. Excellent service.

The guys from Northern House Clearance have just cleared a house for me in Scotland. The house was packed not only with a lifetimes worth of memories, but all the clutter that goes with it. Within 2 days it was emptied down to the floorboards. A great job from a good team of lads. Highly recommended.

An excellent 5 star service. Firstly the compassion shown due to the circumstances which resulted in having to use their services, not just on the phone but by the team who arrived, on time, to perform the job. Above all a friendly attitude goes a long way in stressful times. Professional from the start to the end of the day and due to the amount of clutter a second day was needed. I could not believe how much was cleared in just one day, it was as if the clutter had it's own clutter to clear. Hope that I never need to use them again, but if I have to clear another property they will be the only people that I call. Highly recommend them. G.Hatton. Cheshire.

The team arrived bang on time and began work immediately. They continued for five solid days and completed the entire clearance of my late uncles house, which was a case of extreme hoarding over many decades. They even removed carpets, curtains and swept up so the house was ready for sale. They were exeptionally hard working, polite and charged a reasonable price for this incredibly difficult job. Terrific service, absolutely recommended.
