T. H. Pile and Company, shipbuilding firm at Hartlepool

  • Thomas Hunter Pile’s family were shipbuilders on the River Wear, about twenty miles (32 km) north of Hartlepool.
  • 1853 His brother, John Pile, had started shipbuilding in West Hartlepool. His firm, John Pile and Co, was successful and soon needed to expand.
  • 1863 A shipyard nearby became available; John Pile asked Thomas to run it under his own name.
  • 1866 Business was good until 1866. Then the bank the firm was using went out of business. All the money was lost, and the firm was forced to close.
