Bradburn and Wedge

Motor company

This building has been created to showcase the Museum’s magnificent collection of Black Country manufactured vehicles. Inside, visitors can view cars, motorcycles and commercial vehicles including brands such as Bean, Clyno, Westfield, Sunbeam, Diamond, Guy and AJS.

The 1950s appearance of the building is based on the car showrooms of local company, Bradburn and Wedge. The company was founded in 1918, when William Howard Bradburn, the son of a farmer from Wednesfield, joined with Harry Wedge. Wedge left the business about 4 years later, but Bradburn carried on under the same name. His firm became one of the best known car distribution companies in the Midlands.
