The Alldays & Onions Pneumatic Engineering Co. of Birmingham, was a company founded in 1889 by the merger of the long established Onions (The company was founded by a family of craftsmen named Onions who manufactured bellows in their shed in the shadow of Dudley Castle). This was in 1650, during the reign of King James the First.) and William Allday & Co. (formed by William Allday in 1720) engineering companies.
They became known for their engineering and blacksmithing equipment. By 1770 the company had established a virtual monopoly in and around Birmingham, the company soon began manufacturing portable forges in addition to bellows. During the 19th century the company was appointed bellow makers to her Majesty's ordinance and increased production, supplying forges and bellows to the new British colonies abroad, later becoming a manufacturer of motor lorries, cars and vans, cycles and motorcycles, complete outfits for foundries and workshops, hammers, fans, hearths, forges, cranes, pulley blocks, etc. Bicycle manufacture sold under the Alldays name. In 1898, the company produced its first car, the Travell a quadricycle made in private and commercial forms, steered by a wheel. However, series production did not start until 1903/4 with the 7 hp model. Larger commercial vehicles of up to 5 tons were also made in the years preceding the first World War and saw service during the conflict.
Cycles were made under the name 'Alldays Cycles.'. When WW1 ended the company produced the Enfield-Alldays series LC, but in due course vehicle production ceased and the company looked to different products for survival.
