Bradbury Brothers of High Street, Croydon.
Corydon were motorcycles produced by them from 1904 to 1908. The machines had been developed at a time when motorcycle sales slumped and so the company did not survive for long. The motorcycles were of good quality and were fitted with single and V-twin engines of various sizes. The frame and fittings were typical of the era.
