Cheviot Motorcycles

Manufactured by A and B Garage & Cycle Co c.1903~1910

The factory and workshops were located in Bondgate in the centre of Alnwick and Hide Hill in Berwick, and they also had garages in Belford and Ayton, and an agent in Alnmouth.

The company was established by Mr Charles Blackwood Ford but it was probably trading well before that. Ford was still General Manager in 1910.

A Cheviot motorcycle was ridden by W Atkinson in the 1909 Scottish Five Days Trial
