British Bikes / Warrior motorcycles made at Great Linford, Buckinghamshire circa 1920s

Hello.
First a confession, I know nothing about motorcycles, so I hope you won't mind my joining to ask a question.
I run a local history website for the village of Great Linford in Buckinghamshire, and have recently discovered that there was a motorcycle manufacturer based in the village in the 1920s.
It traded under the name Warrior Motorcycles, but I can very little about the business, other than a few mentions in newspapers of the time.
I have a piece on my website which mentions the business; look here for the biography of Lewis Uthwatt.

Might anyone have come across any information on the business? Might there be any photographs out there of a Warrior motorcycle?
Many thanks,
John
