About this product

Product Information

In 1846, four young men opened what they optimistically called a locomotive works at Woodbank near Carlisle. Founded by Thomas and William Bouch, John Cowans and Edward Sheldon, the company grew to become the world's foremost manufacturers of railways and dock cranes, turntables, traversers, coal hoists and much more besides.

I learned a lot about this manufacturer.
I learned a lot about this manufacturer and was surprised at the range of products they produced as I only knew about cranes and turntables prior to reading this book.
