John H Hackworth and Company 1893

John Hennon Hackworth (1843 - 1923) was the
fourth child of Thomas Hackworth (1797 - 1877) but his three eldest siblings all died as
children. (Thomas, of course, was the only (and younger) brother of Timothy Hackworth). 





"This company was registered on December 16, with a capital of £15,000, in £10 shares, to adopt an agreement dated November 28, 1891, between the Machinery and Hardware Company, Limited, and J. H. Hackworth,  f the first part, J. Altschul, of the second part, A. Whelan of the third part, E. Altschul of the fourth part, and A. Lawrence (for this company) of the fifth part, and to acquire and work inventions connected with disc tools."

And the link is - 
London Gazette link - winding up machine Co 1894

The address is interesting - 46, Queen Victoria Street in London is somewhere in this pic from Google maps


But it looks like they moved from 147, Queen Victoria Street - which has been redeveloped since  the 1890's.

1885 Victoria Road Darlington is the road that leads to Darlington station and seems to be his home address but the letter doesn't give a No. It looks like the 147, Queen Victoria Road, London was the firms base as early as 1885, from this patent letter.
