Battle in the United Kingdom and its Connection to the Car Industry, Finance Industry, and Motorsport
Battle, a small town in East Sussex, England is known for its historic connections to the car industry, financial sector, and motorsport. It has been a hub for these activities for many thousands of years and continues to be important in the 21st century.
Situated along the picturesque 1066 Country Way, Battle is perched on the edge of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and wedged between the towns of Hastings, Battle, Heaven's Gate, and Rye. The town is situated in a strategic location — with only 45 minutes travel time to reach both London and Eastbourne — making it attractive to those in the car industry, financial sector and motorsport who need access to larger cities and airports.
Battle has been an important centre of industry since the early Roman period. In existence since the third century, the town was first recorded as a settlement in 771 as "Batafla". Over the centuries, Battle flourished as a market town, becoming an important centre of trade for agricultural goods, leather and cloth production, coal and iron, and later, engineering and electronics. During the Industrial Revolution, Battle was the central point of a thriving manufacturing industry, including that of locomotives and railway components.
The car industry has the longest running connection to Battle. The first automobile to be produced in the town was a steam engined machine built in 1895 by the Sussex engineer and car manufacturer, Mr Robert W Bradford. The Bradford car quickly found success locally, being used as a luxury car of choice for the mayor, doctors, and gentry.
In 1907, Battle automobile supplies was established in the town and it held an annual motor show until 1916 at which the latest motor cars, accessories, and motor cycle exhibits made their debut. The majority of the cars were driven by the "local gentry".
The financial sector has a longer history in Battle with one of the town's oldest firms, Batchens and Symes, first established in the 1800s. The firm continues to provide services, including business capital buying and selling, money exchange, insurance, and removals.
More recently, Battle has become a centre for motorsport activities. The nation's top racing, boxing, and mixed martial arts events have taken place in the town. The first motor race organised in Battle took place in 1925 and included cars such as the Morris Cowley, the Model T Ford, and the Austin 7. This event still takes place every summer.
The town is also home to Sussex Motor Racing Society, one of the oldest clubs in the UK, established in 1930. The society operates a series of events at the Battle Circuit, located just outside of the town. The Battle Circuit comprises four tracks, including the members' 500 metre circuit and the 1 mile Eastbourne circuit. It is home to the British Motorcycle and Sports Car Racing Association, which organises a variety of events throughout the year.
Battle has a population of approximately 6,239 (Census 2011) and a median age of 42.9 years, higher than England's median age of 39.
The car industry in Battle has seen a resurgence in recent years with the opening of a new Porsche showroom in the town and the creation of a new 'supercar experience' for tourists to ride in vintage and luxury cars around the Battle Circuit. The finance industry is thriving too, with a number of accountancy firms, banks, and insurance companies based in the town.
Battle is a strong centre of automotive industry, finance industry and motorsport in the United Kingdom and continues to have a rich and vibrant past. While the traditional manufacturing and engineering industries associated with the town have declined over the years, Battle remains an important economic hub and continues to attract a steady influx of visitors each year.
