Villiers Engineering was a manufacturer of motorcycles and cycle parts, and an engineering company based in Villiers Street, Wolverhampton, England.
Early History
In the 1890s John Marston's Sunbeam had become extremely successful, by relying on high quality of production and finish. But Marston was dissatisfied with the pedals on his machines, which he bought in. In 1890 he dispatched his son Charles to the US on a selling trip, but included in his instructions that Charles must discuss pedal engineering with Pratt and Whitney in Hartford, Connecticut and come back with a high class pedal and the machinery for making it. Charles said that the Villiers Engineering Co. was "the ultimate fruit" of his trip to the US, being impressed by the production system and the labour saving devices. He pointed out that "it was not possible to develop these at Sunbeamland, which had long been working on another plan, but it was possible to start them in a new factory".
As a result of the tour, in 1898, John Marston bought a small Japanning works based in Villiers Street, Wolverhampton. Under the direction of Charles, the company made cycle parts for the Sunbeam company. As the factory was producing more parts than Sunbeam required, it sold components to other manufacturers.
Villiers is first mentioned in 1191 as in Vilar. In 1308 it was mentioned as de Villier.
Geography
Villiers had an area, as of 2009, of 10.6 square kilometers (4.1sqmi). Of this area, 4.7km2 (1.8sqmi) or 44.5% is used for agricultural purposes, while 5.61km2 (2.17sqmi) or 53.1% is forested. Of the rest of the land, 0.27km2 (0.10sqmi) or 2.6% is settled (buildings or roads) and 0.02km2 (4.9 acres) or 0.2% is unproductive land.
Of the built up area, housing and buildings made up 1.5% and transportation infrastructure made up 0.9%. Out of the forested land, 49.4% of the total land area is heavily forested and 3.7% is covered with orchards or small clusters of trees. Of the agricultural land, 8.3% is used for growing crops and 17.1% is pastures and 18.8% is used for alpine pastures.

The story of George Villiers and King James I & VI reads like a stylish, sexy and scandalous historic drama series. It probably hasn’t been made into one before because, until recently, Hollywood wasn’t too keen on portraying homosexual characters and relationships, authentically. However, the new Starz series, Mary and George promises to finally introduce the wider world to the dashing country commoner who won the heart of a king and was raised so high he had no where to go but plummeting back to earth. The series emphasizes George’s relationship with his ambitions mother, Mary Beaumont who encouraged and facilitated his royal seduction. So let’s travel back to the Stuart court of England and meet the real Mary and G...

Duke Of Buckingham: George Villiers His Life, Loves and Legacy
George Villiers 1st Duke of Buckingham, His Life, Loves and Legacy. The Duke of Buckingham was a very controversial historical English figure. Handsome and ambitious, he rose with astonishing speed through the ranks of the aristocracy yet, he was generally regarded with suspicion and dislike by the rest of the court. Villiers was the last in a succession of handsome young favourites of the monarchy on whom King James I and Charles I lavished affection and patronage. He also had what can only be described as a very sketchy political and military record. Subsequent events showed that he was a symptom rather than the cause of a malfunctioning English state.
