16 Sep 11 - Raleigh's history started in 1887, in Raleigh Street, Nottingham. Frank Bowden, a prosperous 38-year-old, bought a bicycle made by Messrs. Woodhead, Angois and Ellis, because his doctor had told him to ride a bicycle for his health. Bowden was impressed by his bicycle and went to Raleigh Street to find Woodhead, Angois and Ellis making three bikes a week. Bowden made them an offer and bought the business. He changed the name to Raleigh Cycles to commemorate the original address.
