 Vauxhall Gardens Revisit'd   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The prosperity that first spawned public concerts in London and later Vauxhall Gardens and its competition was primarily the offshoot of a stable government, growing international commerce with the Crown's colonies, and the manufacture of goods to be marketed domestically and internationally.
Vauxhall was also legendary for the ham served with the cold suppers; contemporary reports indicate the slices were "…as thin as muslin." Prior to 1750 most visitors arrived by water on boats from Westminster or Whitehall.
Because of the nature of the venue, the Vauxhall concerts were informal and somewhat less structured that their modern day counterparts.

 BBC News | BUSINESS | Vauxhall workers out on strike
Around 80% of the Vauxhall workforce of 8,500-9000 workers are expected to participate in the strike.

 Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens
Vauxhall Gardens stood on the Surrey side of the Thames, a short distance east of Vauxhall Bridge, and was a popular place of public resort from the reign of Charles II almost to the end of the 19th century.
Vauxhall was transformed into a fashionable favourite when Jonathan Tyers assumed management of the Gardens, remodelling and reopening them on 7 June, 1732, with a Ridotto al Fresco, at which Frederick, Prince of Wales, who had come down on his barge from Kew, was present.
In the Grove, the square enclosed by the principal walks and the western wall of the Garden, were built temples and pavilions and a colonnade for use during bad weather.

 Vauxhall's First Century as Seen in Small Scale
Sadly, Vauxhall found that while its automobiles were widely coveted and held in the highest of regard by both their owners and the general public alike, their high-profile/low volume vehicles could not be profitably produced.
By the 1970s, and much to the dismay of died-in-the-wool Luton fans, Vauxhalls went 'continental' and began to share platforms with Opel that were identical except for the badging and the side of the car that the driver sat on.
By the late 1960s, Vauxhall was widely recognized in Britain as a manufacturer of solid and efficient albeit boring family cars and its credentials were rather strained when it came to producing sporting machines.

 Vauxhall Gardens
In Fourdrinier's print Monamy seems to be consciously applying a form of poster art, by manipulating the perspective: reducing the departing ship and magnifying the forlorn Susan.
Nevertheless, if my deciphering of the inscription is correct, it does suggest that this theme, and also the illustration to Gay's ballad, were on display in the Gardens a year or two before the events of 1740.
They indicate an anticipation of hostilities, and the fact that the subsequent Vauxhall Garden pictures were not engraved by Fourdrinier supports their slightly earlier date.

The brand is, after all, only to be found in the UK--even the right-hand cars bound for the Republic of Ireland are Opels--and it seems to be on the fringe when it comes to GM Europe.
Understandable, perhaps, since it has been the site of Vauxhall production since 1905 and it is also where the head are located, so when the car plant there was closed down earlier this year, it looked as if it could be the end of the line for Vauxhall.
For example, it is responsible for the BC plant, also in Luton, that produces the Vauxhall Vivaro and Renault Trafic trucks, it has a small but dedicated engineering center at the Millbrook Proving Ground, and it has a large warehouse and headquarters staff.
