Birkin Court is so named after Sir “Tim” Henry Birkin, inventor, car builder and renowned racing driver who won the many races during his career including several Le Mans 24 hours races in the 1920’s driving his own Bentley “Blower” race car. His car building business, Birkin Motor Company, was at one time located on Broadwater Road.
The book Full Throttle was written in 1932 about his exploits and later turned in to a 1995 film of the same name. His character was played by none other than Rowan Atkinson.
