There were fancy lugged Carpenters produced post war. Cracking looking frames too. I always thought that Carpenters were an old firm started by the Father in the early 1920's. Thought they were originally in Penton Street London N.1 within spitting distance of the Angel. This part of London received a lot of bomb damage. Sure they were bombed out.They relocated to Kingston-on-Thames. They used to advertize in the late 50's as having over forty years in the trade. The Father was well known for building motor-cycle frames speedway, scambles etc.
