Brand Data

Company Name: Edwin Smith

Place: Blackburn, Lancashire

Country: United Kingdom

Edismith was an early 20th-century automobile manufacturer based in Blackburn, Lancashire, England. Founded by Edwin Smith in 1905, the brand emerged from Smith's involvement in the automotive industry, particularly through his operation of the Circus Garage.

At the 1905 Manchester Show, Edwin Smith showcased a light car that was powered by a 9hp single-cylinder De Dion-Bouton engine. This event marked the brand's only significant public appearance. Despite the initial enthusiasm, Edismith never evolved into a formal company, and it is believed that the vehicle remained a unique prototype rather than entering mass production. As a result, Edismith is often regarded as a one-off endeavor in the history of British automotive manufacturing.
