Story
Every good establishment needs a great base in which to start, and the Redditch Cycle & Motorcycle Museum is seeking exactly that. On offer to our Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) is a very desirable retail unit in a high footfall area in Redditch Town Centre - just perfect as a starting point in which we can display the heritage of the manufacture of cycles and motorcycles in the town and local area, to include historical exhibits from the origins of The Enfield Cycle Company, and focusing upon the subsequent development of the Royal Enfield Company up to present day, as well as inclusion of the BSA (Studley Road) factory's production of the Sunbeam S7 & S8 motorcycles and Bantam engines, to add a little wider interest.
These premises will fulfil our initial phase of establishment, from which we fully intend to expand to larger premises as the Royal Enfield Collection expands to incorporate the wider catalogue of products from the companies and their local parts suppliers represented in the changing exhibitions.
As a primary section of Redditch Borough Council's burgeoning "Heritage Corridor" project, the Museum will benefit from archive and display support from the Redditch Local History Society, and will seek to enlighten and delight visitors with insights into the town's rich heritage and the wider influences in the post-Industrial Revolution age, both nationally and internationally...

Several members of my family way back worked for Royal Enfield Redditch and I have a fair bit of memorabilia so naturally I am passionate about the idea of a museum .
