World Origin Site


 As we mentioned, Richard Hammond unveiled a plaque at the remains of the Hunt End factory where the first motorbike was built in 1901. What are these plaques?

The World Origin website describes it like this:

What is a World Origin Site?

A World Origin Site is somewhere unique. It marks the place, people and moment when something truly groundbreaking was invented, discovered or first used.

This includes where and when some of the world’s most significant cultural events, brands and companies originated.

Only one place on the planet can ever lay claim to these landmark moments in the development of the modern world.

World Origin Site .Org sets out to record, recognise and celebrate these sites whether they are marked by a monument, museum or are just a humble house, shed or street corner. Every World Origin Site matters.

 For the Royal Enfield site they include a little history of the brand.
