THOMAS HACKWORTH
Thomas Hackworth (1797 - 1877) was Timothy Hackworth's brother and his role has
been overlooked by history. George Smith explores his story in the book below. Thomas was associated with Fossick and Hackworth and Blairs engineering in Stockton on Tees.Fossick & Hackworth built locomotives and carriages. In 1853 they went into marine engineering, and this, after some time, took over from the railway work. At the time Thomas retired in 1865 his works manager was George Blair, who was by this time a partner.
