Brief History of the Marque: Bown
The factory was established in 1911 by William Bown and the marque is
related to Aeolus, Aberdale and Levis.
Wales 1922-1924
According to some sources Bown was associated with Aeolus motorcycles
as early as 1913. From 1922 to 1924 William Bown assembled small Villier-powered
machines of 147cc capacity, and also 248cc & 348cc JAP
& Blackburne powered machines.
Taken over by Aberdale in the 1930's, Bown is associated with Aberdales
1946-49 and Levis 1950-58.
From 1950 to 1958 the Bown marque was associated with autocycles of
98cc and 123cc with engines by Villiers, and
after 1955 they also built Sachs-powered mopeds.
