Henniker Mews is first workshop where Coal Scuttle was built by Bamford and Martin Ltd. In operation from 1913 to 1920.
The former London depot of Hesse and Savory in Henniker Mews, Callow Street, became occupied by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford in late 1912. On January 15, their partnership became incorporated as 'Bamford and Martin Ltd' and construction began on their first unique automobile. This car, known as 'Coal Scuttle' - the first ever Aston-Martin (yes, with a hyphen) was registered for the road in early 1915. Not long after the First World War had begun, the small factory closed and both the bosses and workers joined in with the War effort.
Not open to the public.
