George Saxon of Openshaw Engineering Works, Manchester were makers of stationary steam engines[1]
- 1864 Company established to build mill engines. Exhibit at Manchester's Museum of Science and Industry
- 1886 Engine for Stamford Commercial Weaving Co, Carrs Mill, Ashton-under-Lyme
- 1903 Engine for The Tudor Mill, Ashton-under-Lyne
- c.1909 engine for Hawthorn Mill, Chadderton. Its small barring engine has survived, and is displayed at the Northern Mill Engine Society museum in Bolton. See photo.
- 1913 Steam engine at Pear New Mill, Bredbury. This was a very large double ‘Manhattan’ engine, having horizontal high pressure cylinders and vertical low pressure cylinders, driving a pulley grooved for 73 ropes. It was designed to produce 4000 HP, but in the event only half of the mill was completed, so only half of the engine was used. Photographed by George Watkins in 1952.[2]
