Pennine may be old (1946), but Ellis Briggs is ten years older than that! Bob Jackson started as JRJ in 1935 (though the shop was closed during WWII). Merlin Cycles, though not a Yorkshire brand, bought in the 50s by BJ, was started in 1918. JF Wilsons is more recent (1948). Woodrups is a newcomer, dating back only to the 1960s.
Lots of classic history around.
