Fossick & Hackworth was founded in 1839 by George Fossick and Thomas Hackworth (brother of Timothy Hackworth. The company was located in Norton Road, Stockton-on-Tees. The first locomotive was built in 1839 and, in its lifetime, the company built about 120 locomotives.

The Llanelly Railway took delivery of Victor, a 0-6-0 long boilered tender engine in 1864 (Wks No 176).[1] This was subsequently sold to the Carmarthen & Cardigan Railway (C&CR) in December 1872. The C&CR amalgamated with the Great Western Railway on 1 July 1881, but Victor was not taken into GWR stock. It was moved to Swindon, and not scrapped until September 1889.[2]

The company began to supply marine engines in 1853, and, after a while, marine engineering replaced railway work. In 1855, George Young Blair (1826-1894) became manager of the company and, when Hackworth retired in 1864, Blair became a partner. The company then changed its name to Fossick, Blair and Company. Fossick retired in 1866 and Blair became the sole owner. The company name then changed to Blair and Company.[3]
