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] References1. ^{{cite book |last=Reed |first=P.J.T. |editor-last=White |editor-first=D.E. |title=The Locomotives of the Great Western Railway, part three: Absorbed Engines, 1854-1921 |date=December 1956 |publisher=RCTS |location=Kenilworth |isbn=0-901115-33-9 |page=C47 |ref=harv }} {{DEFAULTSORT:Fossick and Hackworth}}{{UK-rail-transport-stub}}{{England-company-stub}}2. ^{{harvnb|Reed|1956|p=C77}} 3. ^https://www.gracesguide.co.uk/Fossick_and_Hackworth 1 : Locomotive manufacturers of the United Kingdom |
