HistoryThe company was established by Harry S. Edwards in Howdon in 1883.[1] Following the death of the founder the business was bought by Rowland Hodge in 1898. At that time Furness Withy were both a major shareholder and a major customer.[1] In 1918 it became a public company and subsequently acquired controlling interests in William Doxford & Sons, Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company, Workman, Clark and Company, Blythswood Shipbuilding Company, Monmouth Shipbuilding Company and the Lancashire Iron and Steel Company.[1] The combined business was the largest shipbuilding combine in the United Kingdom.[2] Following a collapse in demand and over-ordering of steel the business went into receivership in 1926. It briefly re-opened under new ownership in 1927 but closed again in 1930.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|url=http://www.gracesguide.co.uk/Northumberland_Shipbuilding_Co|title=Northumberland Shipbuilding Company|publisher=Grace's Guide|accessdate=30 May 2015}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.tynebuiltships.co.uk/NorthumberlandSB.html|title=Northumberland Shipbuilding Company|publisher=Tyne built ships|accessdate=30 May 2015}} 5 : Defunct shipbuilding companies of the United Kingdom|Companies based in Northumberland|Defunct companies of England|Vehicle manufacturing companies established in 1883|Vehicle manufacturing companies disestablished in 1930 |
