  • "Heren Spyker"

    This is fun, a restaurant/winebar was reopend today named "Heren Spyker" translated ->"Gentlemen Spyker".

    In the late 19th century the current restaurant buildings were the house and workshop of blacksmith James Nail. Here he and his wife Jannetje de Groot and two sons named John and Henry James Junior lived there. The two sons started a carriage factory in Hilversum, moved to Amsterdam and quickly switched over to the production of cars. In 1903 the brothers changed the name Nail in the internationally-looking name Spyker. One of the last coaches they made was the Golden Coach. A house with Spyker history. They also serve a menu called 'Tour d’ Spyker' .

            This used to be a restaurant called 'the spijkerpandjes', seems to have changed in ownership.
