Debenham Sisters
Betty and Nancy Debenham, with their dog, Poncho, were keen motorcyclists. Nancy won a Gold Medal at Brooklands in 1926.
The Debenham Sisters
Produced from 1910 to 1911 at 66 Bishop Street, Birmingham.
Two models were listed late in 1910. Typical of the period, they were fitted with a 2½ or 3½ h.p. single-cylinder JAP engine, Amac carburettor, direct-belt drive, Bates tyres and sprung forks. The make was very short-lived.
William Dawson Chitty raced several different motorcycles at Brooklands including a 270cc Givaudan and Frays-JAP 350 and 500cc machines.

Graham Clayton writes in Comments, "The Priest-JAP was also built at the same address as the Frays - 66 Bishop Street, Birmingham."
