Baines Brothers

Baines Bros. was started by William Lambert Baines in 1857 on the site where William Marshall started his engineering business.

The company had connections to Marshalls and Roses.

Baines manufactured cycles, and with William Rose, produced a motor car at the beginning of the 20th century.
