Introduction
The photograph on this page of Raleigh cycles works by Alan Murray-Rust as part of the Geograph project.
The Geograph project started in 2005 with the aim of publishing, organising and preserving representative images for every square kilometre of Great Britain, Ireland and the Isle of Man.
There are currently over 7.5m images from over 14,400 individuals and you can help contribute to the project by visiting https://www.geograph.org.uk

Once one of the largest manufacturing sites in Nottingham, Raleigh's UK manufacturing base was by the end of the 20th century unable to compete with lower cost operations particularly in the far east. In 2001 the company relocated to this much smaller site, which is primarily a UK distribution facility.
