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 as a bicycle manufacturer. 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.
