Over 80 ex-employees and their descendants give perceptive and
often humorous accounts of life in the Enfield works, charting its
expansion from a humble needle factory into one of Britain's best
known motorcycle manufacturers. Contributions include
Enfield-trained Bill Lomas, double World and British motorcycling
champion, and Johnny Brittain who describes how he became the
youngest member of the British winning team in the 1953
International Six Days Trial. They create a company renowned for
its family atmosphere, where generation succeeded generation - a
company whose expertise not only produced first class motor cycles
like the Bullet, the Crusader and the Interceptor but also
pioneered air-cooled diesel engines and were even involved in the
development of atomic energy. The concluding stories are by those
who worked there during the final ten years, when the company was
reduced from a workforce of over 1,500 to one employee in the front
room of a terraced house.
