Brief History of the Marque: Hazlewood
Made in England 1911-1924
Once a large factory in West Orchard, Coventry but not well-known
in the UK as most of its production went to the Colonies, Hazlewood was
first established in 1876. Their first machines were JAP-powered with a
belt drive to the three-speed Armstrong hub. In 1913 they offered 3.5 and
5hp JAP twins and were beginning to use chain drive. Their last 678cc V-twin
JAPs were produced in 1924.
