I was interested to read the article under 'Features' on businesses in
Perry Vale.
My interest is in a motorcycle manufacturer located there between 1911
and 1924, which took the initials 'P.V.' after the road as its name.

I know the founders were George Elliston and Sidney Fell, cycle makers,
and that they had premises at nos. 93 Perry Vale, and 72 Perry Vale up
to 1914.
They then moved to 'Number 1, Exchange Buildings, Perry Vale'.
I understand this is through the arch on the end of the parade of shops
on Perry Vale, opposite the end of Siddons Road.

If anyone has any more information, or suggestions where I might look,
I'd be grateful.

Nick
