of Ouseburn, Newcastle-upon-Tyne
The works appear to have been started c.1851/52 by Robert Morrison
Robert Morrison and Co ceased trading in 1866.
In 1871 the factory was restarted as an industrial co-partnership, headed by John Hunter Rutherford (1826 – 1890). This failed in 1875.
Following bankruptcy in 1875 the works were rescued by several co-operative societies and it continued to trade under the name Tyne Engine Works Co before closing finally in 1881.
See here [1] for a good account of the history of the Ouseburn Engine Works.
1892 A. C. Franklin wrote to Engineering say that 'as early as October 1873 a triple~expansion engine, with three cranks, and in all respects identical with the engine of to-day, was already in the course of construction from my specifications, and under my superintendence, by the Ousebourn Engine Works Company, Newcastle-on-Tyne? The cylinders were 11 in., 17 in., and 24 in., with an 18-in. stroke. ... were ultimately fitted into the s.s. Sexta. built by Mr.- now Sir William - Gray. so the trial trip did not take place until September, 1874. ....'[2]
