Summary

Reverend A N Trengrove of Cowell (possibly Arthur N Trengrove) a Lewis water cooled motor cycle. These motor cycles were built from 1905 until the early 1920s. This 1909 model was introduced shortly before the arrival of the Precision motor which was introduced in 1910. The motor featured a timing chest and a water jacket behind the exhaust pipe. The cylinder casting and valve lifter detail are strikingly similar to the Stevens engine. The registration of the motor cycle in this photograph is 568.
