Title Hackworth Family Archive Fonds reference code GB 0756 HACK Dates 1810’s-1980’s Extent & Medium of the unit of the 1036 letters with accompanying letters and associated documents, 151 pieces of printed material and printed images, unit of description 13 volumes, 6 drawings, 4 large items Name of creator s Hackworth Family Administrative/Biographical Hackworth, Timothy (b 1786 – d 1850), Railway Engineer was an early railway pioneer who worked for the Stockton History and Darlington Railway Company and had his own engineering works Soho Works, in Shildon, County Durham. He married and had eight children and was a converted Wesleyan Methodist. He manufactured and designed locomotives and other engines and worked with other significant railway individuals of the time, for example George and Robert Stephenson. He was responsible for manufacturing the first locomotive for Russia and British North America. It has been debated historically up to the present day whether Hackworth gained enough recognition for his work. Proponents of Hackworth have suggested that he invented of the ‘blast pipe’ which led to the success of locomotives over other forms of rail transport. His sons other relatives went on to be engineers. His eldest son, John Wesley Hackworth did a lot of work to promote his fathers memory after he died. His daughters, friends, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and ancestors to this day have worked to try and gain him a prominent place in railway history. Notably his grandson son Robert Young wrote a book Timothy Hackworth and the locomotive (London: Locomotive Publishing Company, 1923) in a bid to preserve and promote his memory. Archival history Before the archive reached the NRM it had come from various members of the family; usually kept with the oldest male relative. Around the 1880 a large proportion of the archive appears to have been taken to the United States by Samuel Holmes; Timothy Hackworth’s nephew. Parts of the archive appear to have been passed to Robert Young when he was writing his book Timothy Hackworth and the Locomotive. Robert Young and his descendents passed pieces of the archive, mainly letters to and from Timothy Hackworth to the Science Museum, London. These letters were subsequently transferred to the National Railway Museum in 2005. Other records remained with various decedents and were transferred to the NRM in three separate donations in 2005, two donations in 2010 and further donations in 2011.

Further acquisitions donated by a descendent of Timothy Hackworth were added to the collection in December 2012, these had previously been represented in the collection as copies. This deposit consists of letters and documents removed from the main bulk of the archive by Robert Young when he was writing his book, they are cover dominant

 Science Museum Group 2 themes in the archive such as early loco development, Ann Ambler’s mental illness, the death of Timothy Hackworth’s wife Jane Young and John Wesley Hackworth’s failed marriage proposal.

Some letters referenced in Robert Young’s Timothy Hackworth and the Locomotive (London: Locomotive Publishing Comp any, 1923) do not survive in the archive and their location and provenance is unknown. Scope & content The Hackworth family archive is a record of early railway development in Britain. It contains records of Timothy Hackworth’s work with the Stockton and Darlington Railway Company and features original documents to and from prominent railway individuals such as George and Robert Stephenson and Edward and Joseph Pease. It describes business activities and events on the line and discusses developments of railway engineering and travel that enabled the railways of today. Business records such as ledgers, notebooks and drawings provide detailed information about locomotives built; records also document business activities, such as the passport of John Wesley Hackworth from when he delivered the first locomotive to Russia. There is also a large amount of correspondence between various individuals regarding Soho Works’ order for the London and Brighton Railway Company. Correspondence between the members of the family describes the early railway industry informally; Timothy Hackworth appears to regularly correspond with his children in a personal and business capacity and writes to his wife regularly when he is away from home. Timothy Hackworth’s correspondence with his wife and two sons describe his feelings about how his business and about railway developments at the time. Letters are also heavily tinged with religious references and are evidence of the family’s Methodist faith and describe every day events.

The archive contains a large amount of family records from after the death of Timothy Hackworth. There are hundreds of papers regarding the settling of his estate gathered by his friend and executor of his estate Thomas Greener. These show how the family administered the estate and, dealt with running Soho Works without their father and their various decisions to sell the business. Papers also deal with private matters such as the mental health of Timothy Hackworth’s eldest daughter Ann Ambler who was put into a mental asylum and the family’s attempts communicate with her husband William Amber. The mental heath of another sister Mary Hackworth is also discussed, along with the threat of her marrying an unsuitable husband as the estate was being settled. Thomas Greener filed personal letters alongside estate papers; the series includes letters regarding the death of Timothy Hackworth’s wife Jane, letters announcing marriages, illness of his son Timothy Hackworth and often express money troubles within the family. Disagreements between family members are played out, notably between the two sons John Wesley and Timothy who both attempt to buy the business. At another point John Wesley Hackworth attempts to bring legal action on his brother and another executor.

Letters between the children of Timothy Hackworth between themselves and their friends give an insight into what life was in Victorian times. Letters between women and girls are an example of this; Timothy Hackworth’s daughter Prudence Nightingale (nee Hackworth)’s correspondence with her friend Elizabeth Dove describes family matters and the death of many people in her family of tuberculosis. Correspondence accumulated by younger daughter Jane

 Science Museum Group 3 Young (nee Hackworth) describes her time at school in Vilvorde, Belgium. Letters describe the family’s opinions regarding the observation of the Sabbath; provide gossip about family and friends and on potential suitors and describe Victorian fashion. There are numerous items in the archive that are evidence of social and religious history for example proposals of marriage, letters turning down marriage, religious confessions and letters of condolence on the death of family members.

The archive has another dimension to it: many of Timothy Hackworth’s children, grandchildren ancestors and friends campaigned for their ancestor’s recognition and their records are also contained in the archive. Hackworth’s daughters, their husbands and friend Thomas Greener collected, wrote and distributed literature about him. John Wesley Hackworth’s research papers and his correspondence in papers demonstrate his eagerness that his fathers name must not be forgotten. He publically battled against people who he thought were promoting historically inaccurate notions in relation to who was involved with early railway development. He focused on the argument that his father had invented the ‘blast pipe’ which the Stephenson’s used in order to make their locomotives successful. Later letters between Robert Young and various correspondents provide different points of views on the effectiveness of John Wesley Hackworth’s work to promote his father. Some correspondents such as, Timothy Hackworth’s nephew ardently defend John Wesley’s work and views, whereas others such as Robert Young Pickering, cousin of Robert Young are very critical of the way that John Wesley ‘damaged’ any chance that of making Timothy Hackworth’s name prominent.

Research for Robert Young’s book Timothy Hackworth and the Locomotive (London: Locomotive Publishing Company, 1923), gathered by Robert Young provides an in depth into the history surrounding the dawn of the locomotive in Britain. Both his and John Wesley Hackworth’s research, which he also used, provide a great deal of first and second hand information and evidence regarding the history of railways. Young researches through published sources, correspondence with people who were alive at the time of Timothy Hackworth including members of the family, photographs, magazines. Robert Young and his cousin Samuel Holmes, who lived in the United States, corresponded in depth about what should go into Robert Young’s book. Samuel Holmes tended to follow John Wesley Hackworth’s style of debate whilst Robert Young wanted to avoid the book offending the public and to create a more impartial account of events. Samuel Holmes wrote a forward to the Robert Young’s book however he died before the book was completed and it was never included in the final publication. There are various heated letters between Samuel Holmes and Robert Young that debate Timothy Hackworth’s involvement in railway history.

Later letters in the series document arrangements for parts of this archive and other Hackworth artefacts to be exhibited by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company in the World Columbian Exposition, or ‘World Fair’ held in 1893. Letters sent between members of the family describe current events at the time of writing such as the Boer War and the World War I. Letters from family members now and again describe the family’s bad luck and often describe sorrow due to death and illness in the family. Later letters deal with what should happen with the family archive after

Family legend suggests that Hackworth, Jane (b 1785-d 1852) was descended from a Scots lord who lost his land in the Jacobite risings, it does seem that Jane Hackworth was of a higher social status than Timothy. Jane was involved in religious life and correspondence from after her death describes her as an active Methodist. They had six daughters and three sons. One son, Thomas died shortly after his birth. Records suggest that Jane was involved with Timothy’s business activities; he often discussed business matters in correspondence to her asking her to pass on messages, give instructions whilst he was away.

Hackworth, Timothy (1786–1850), Railway engineer, was born on 22 December 1786 in Wylam, Northumberland, he was the eldest of three sons and five daughters. His father was John Hackworth, master blacksmith at Wylam colliery and his mother Elizabeth Sanderson of Newcastle. Hackworth was apprenticed to his father at Wylam, where he later worked for Christopher Blackett and the coal viewer William Hedley and went on to be responsible for engines the ‘Wylam Grasshopper’ and the ‘Wylam Dilly’. Hackworth left Wylam in 1816 because of the Sunday working hours which conflicted with his Methodist beliefs. He moved to Warbottle Colliery where he worked for William Patter as a foreman blacksmith.

Hackworth then moved to Forth Street Works in Newcastle; a works built to construct engines for the Stockton and Darlington Railway. He managed the works whilst George and Robert were away the former surveying Liverpool and Manchester Railway line and the latter working in South America. Apparently around this time Hackworth was offered the job of manager and a share in Forth Street Works but declined this offer. In 1825 he moved to Shildon to take up position of locomotive superintendent, manager and contractor for the Stockton and Darlington Railway Company. During

 Science Museum Group 17 this time he built marine engines, coal stathes at Middlesbrough and doubled the line between Brusselton foot and Stockton. He also designed locomotives for the line including the ‘Royal George’ a high performing locomotive which featured the ‘blast pipe’ an invention that discharged exhaust steam through a converging nozzle blast pipe in the chimney, greatly increasing combustion intensity and steam production. Went on to design more locos including ‘‘Majestic’’ and ‘’Wilberforce’’ type locomotives these were manufactured by Stephenson and co and R & W Hawthorne.

Hackworth entered his locomotive ‘‘Sanspareil’’ into the Rainhill Trials of 1829; a competition initiated by the directors of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway Company. The Sanspareil was not successful and Robert Stephenson’s ‘‘Rocket’’ won the contest. The Sanspareil was purchased by the directors for £500 went on to run successfully on the Bolton and Leigh Railway until 1844. It has been suggested that a cylinder of the Sanspareil had been sabotaged by in the Forth Street, thus resulting in Hackworth losing the trail, however this view has generally been dismissed by historians.

In 1833 Hackworth ceased to be a salaried employee and instead contracted work to the Stockton and Darlington Railway Company and also did work on a private basis. By this time his role had evolved from superintendent of locomotives to also managing the workshops, tools and machinery. Private contracts that he carried out during this time including manufacturing an engine for the Russian government in 1836, which John Wesley Hackworth couriered to Russia and manufacturing locomotives for the Albion Coal Mining Company in Nova Scotia, order by John Buddle in 1838.

In 1840 Hackworth gave up his contract with the Stockton and Darlington Railway concentrated on his own works in Soho works in Shildon. He took over the works from his brother Thomas Hackworth who had run Hackworth and Downing from the premises. Timothy fulfilled contracts for the Clarence Railway and various collieries and also built stationary marine and industrial engines. In 1846 began to build engines for the London and Brighton Railway when John Gray was Locomotive superintendent. Gray designed a class of express passenger locomotives and the whole of this class (12 engines) was built by Timothy Hackworth at Soho 1846-1848. In 1849 Hackworth built Sanspareil no.1, he had difficulty selling this locomotive and it remained unsold by the time of his death of typhus on 07/07/1850 at Soho Works, Shildon after an outbreak in the area. His wife outlived Timothy by two years, dying in 19/08/1852.

The series contains letters from, or on behalf of various prominent railway individuals including George and Robert Stephenson, Edward and Joseph Pease, George and John Dixon, Michael Longridge, William Hunter, John Robson Kay, Thomas Wrigley, Thomas Cabry and includes one letter from the office of George Hudson. It also contains early correspondence from Robert Young (sr) an early engine driver. Personal letters are friendly and often religious discussing Methodist matters including one letter from John Wesley Hackworth whilst he was at school.

Earliest letters discuss work on the Etherley and Brusselton inclines on the Stockton and Darlington Railway, with inclines also being mentioned later on in the series. Further on in the series letters describe operational railway issues, for example the possibility that horses were beating off engines on the Stockton and Darlington line, the use of stationary engines instead of locomotives, the use of ropes. The use of bellows by George Stephenson is discussed in the ‘’blast pipe’’ letter. The letter is purported to show that Timothy Hackworth was responsible for this invention, as Stephenson was still using bellows at this time. This letter is frequently discussed later in the archive by members of the family and other interested parties.

Letters from 1829 include letters from John Urpeth Rastrick and James Walker who compiled a report assessing the merits of locomotive power as opposed to horses. Letters from October of the same year describe the Rainhill Trails and discuss the performance of Timothy Hackworth’s Sanspareil. Letters also describe the Sanspareil’s performance including a letter from Alfred Kitching that describes some of George Stephenson’s unsuccessful locomotives.

1841sees Timothy Hackworth moves out of the Stockton and Darlington workshops to concentrate on his own workshops at Soho Works, Shildon. By 1847 letters are evidence of Timothy Hackworth’s work for the London and Brighton Railway. In 1849 correspondence shows Timothy Hackworth unsuccessful attempt to sell his locomotive ‘’Sanspareil 2’’, including correspondence with J.E. McConnell of the London North Western Railway.

Letters are largely about business matters and show how Hackworth involved his wife in his business activities; his shares key business events with his wife and often goes into detail about technical and procedural railway matters, he also asks her to carry out tasks and pass on messages to his business colleagues.

Earliest letters originate from when Hackworth was just about to leave his position at Warbottle for the Stockton and Darlington Railway. A letter from 1836 describes John Wesley Hackworth, Timothy Hackworth’s son leaving for Russia where he delivered the first locomotive in Russia. Letters from the 1840’s describe Timothy Hackworth’s activities running his business at Soho Works.

Correspondence focuses on Timothy Hackworth’s work for the London and Brighton Railway Company, with many letters sent from London whilst Hackworth was in discussions with the company. Letters mention John Gray, locomotive superintendent. Hackworth often discusses machinery that he was acquiring at Soho Works to assist with the manufacture of engines. Letters show difficulties that Hackworth was facing during the order for the company, with references borrowing money and the company’s slowness in paying him. Letters from 1849 refer to Sanspareil 2 and show increasing money problems. In a letter from 1849, a year before Hackworth’s death, he declared to his wife that the railway world was ‘'getting worse and worse’'.

The series is also peppered with insights into day to day life; Hackworth gives health advice to his wife and daughters and includes frequent references to religion. Correspondence shows what it was like for Timothy being away from home; Hackworth often communicates how much he misses home and his family, complains of sleeping in damp sheets, lack of clean linen and describes staying on hotels.

John Greener was active in the establishment of the Stockton and Darlington Railway Company. John Greener came with the Young family [descendents of George Edward Young (HACK 4/4)] from the Tyne when Timothy Hackworth took up his position as Superintendent Engineer of the Stockton and Darlington Railway in 1825.

Thomas Greener was an active Methodist, lived in Etherley and worked at Etherley Colliery, he is described in correspondence as being a ‘colliery agent’. Records show that he lived at Etherley and moved to Tulse Hill Gardens, London around the 1880’s, probably when he retired.

Greener was clearly close to the Hackworth family and corresponds in depth with them about private matters such as metal asylums for the eldest daughter of Timothy Hackworth Ann Ambler (nee Hackworth) and the debt that the family was in.

Scope & content The series begins straight after Timothy Hackworth’s death when Thomas Greener is appointed executor of Hackworth’s estate. Throughout the series Greener acts to administer the estate by helping to arrange the sale of Soho works, distrubuting money to family members and individuals involved with the business.

Records include lengthy correspondence, minutes, advertisements, share certificates and other documentation relating to the estate and include accounts relating to the business both before and after Timothy Hackworth’s death. It contains correspondence between Greener and the executors of the estate John Wesley Hackworth, Timothy Hackworth Jr and Jane Hackworth (nee Golighlty) intill Jane’s death in 1852. Greener also corresponds with Hackworth’s daughters and their husbands and with legal representatives involved in settling the estate. Records document business matters, such as the sale of Sanspareil 2.

Greener assists with private matters affecting the Hackworth family. He is instumental in arranging an asylum for Ann Ambler (nee Hackworth) Timothy Hackworth’s eldest daughter as well as trying to secure funds from her husband William Ambler. Greener is also informed of other family issues for example when another daughter Mary Hackworth forced iron bars off her window in 1850. Records also show that Greener continued to be involved in Ann Ambler’s affairs after the estate was settled. The series gives a insight into the family, correspondents discuss their health, relationships with each other and general events.

Records show various attempts to sell Soho Works and include valuations of the property and machinery. Throughout the series there are disagreement between the family and the executors about what should be done with the estate. The works appears to have been advertised as up for sale on a number of occassions and was at one point split into lots. Timothy Hackworth Jr and John Wesley Hackworth both attempt to buy the works. In 1853 John Wesley Hackworth attempts to take legal action against Greener and his brother Timothy in order to bloack a sale of the works. There are other occassions where John Wesley Hackworth objects to actions taken by the other executors, Thomas Greener writes that John

 Science Museum Group 26 Wesley Hackworth ‘’abused’’ him when he refused to pay him money from the auction of Soho until all accounts were paid. Correspondence between Thomas Greener and T. Benson shows that John Wesley Hackworth often refused to sign various documents.

By 1854 Greener receives various letters saying expressign that no potential buyers for the works could be found including letter sent to Greener from T. Reynolds from the Great Northern Railway saying that he thinks the works is unlikely to be sold. The executors eneter into negotations with the Stockton and Darlington Railway Company and eventually an offer from the Stockton and Darlington Raiwlay was accepted for £4, 900.

Throughout the series there are various pleas from members of the family for funds, which increase the longer it takes to settle the estate. By 1854 Timothy Hackworth Jr is very ill and there are letters from the family asking to settle the estate in order to raise funds for his healthcare. There is also evidence of Elizabeth Holmes [nee Hackworth] and Mary Hackworth expressing worry about their lack of funds and some evidence that the family was in debt. At the time of the settling of the estate Mary Hackworth is to be married and her friends are concerned that her prospective husband may have access to the estate money, however the marriage never takes place.

The final account was drawn up 15/12/1855 and shows how the money was split between the family, the children got £ 692 16s 7d each apart from Ann Ambler (Nee Hackworth) and her husband Mr Ambler who got £ 192 16 s each. In April 1853 Prudence Nightingale (Nee Hackworth) gives Greener a ‘‘trifling sum’’ as a gift for all his help in settling the estate.

Letters document Thomas Greener’s continuing relationship with the Hackworth family and his attempts to gain recognition for Timothy Hackworth. Correspondence from 1886 shows that he was in contact with John Wesley Hackworth who comments on Greener’s contribution to the Hackworth debate in various newspapers. Prudence Nightingale (nee Hackworth) keeps fairly regular correspondence with Greener and, letters appear friendly and she often thanks him for everything he had done for her father. In 1887 she writes to Greener begging for his help and influence to save John Wesley Hackworth from the workhouse. Prudence Hackworth contacts Thomas Greener again in 1895 to express concern about a letter being exhibited in London that she believes may have been removed from the family’s belongings. There is also a letter from Jane Young (nee Hackworth) regarding one of Greener’s publications.

Thomas Greener also seems to have kept in touch with people who worked alongside Timothy Hackworth, for example D.H. Watson who was the chief clerk in Timothy Hackworth’s office at Soho Works. As well as this Greener, like John Wesley Hackworth seems to have been actively corresponding in a number of publications in order to gain recognition for Hackworth. The series contains some published comments as well as draft correspondence to newspapers and letters between other individuals that were writing about early railways at the time, for example G.A. Sekon, Editor of the Railway Magazine. Correspondence also shows he made the effort to ensure that the memoirs of Timothy Hackworth were deposited in the British Museum and various university libraries.

In 1895 Thomas Greener wrote a letter in the ‘Tit Bits’ section of the Brixtonian titled ‘The First Public Passenger Railway The Stockton and Darlington and The First Successful Locomotive Engine ‘The Royal George’. This letter was then reprinted and circulated by him, the series includes thanks from various correspondents including members of the Hackworth family and Pease family. In 1899 Greener wrote an article that appeared in the Journal of the Society of Arts which was also reprinted called ‘Timothy Hackworth, a Neglected Inventor’, correspondence shows that he had 1000 copies of this reprinted, presumably for circulation.

His father was Hackworth, Timothy, Railway Engineer, (b 1786 – d 1850) and his mother was Hackworth, Jane (b 1785 - d 1852) (nee Golightly). The family moved to Shildon in 1825 as his father had taken up work with the Stockton and Darlington Railway Company. John Wesley was involved with his father’s work from an early age and accompanied his father’s locomotive to Russia in 1837 when he was just 16 years old. He married Ann Turner, this was after he had proposed to Jane Dunton, who turned him down. Ann herself appears to have been betrothed to someone else. They had nine children, the youngest three died at an early age. One his children was Albert Hackworth whose papers are listed in series HACK 6/1. Ann died in a Coxlodge Asylum, Northumberland 28/07/1872.

John Wesley Hackworth was works manager at Soho and continued to there after his father’s death until the works were sold in 1855. He then set up business at Preistgate Engine Works in Darlington and made stationary engines and machinery. John Wesley patented a number of inventions including the horizontal steam engines and a type of valve gear known as the ‘dynamic valve gear’ or ‘Hackworth radial valve gear’. In the mid 1860’s he began manufacturing cotton machinery for Egypt and built a works at Bank Top, Darlington, however this business was affected by the fall of the Khedive in Egypt and the works failed. After his wife’s death he visited Canada and the United Stares in an attempt to introduce his valve gear, which appears to have been relatively unsuccessful. He returned to England and began work as a consulting engineer in Darlington, moving to Sunderland and then London. He also worked to devise better ways to ventilate mines.

John Wesley Hackworth campaigned throughout his life for recognition of his father. He sent a public letter challenging Robert Stephenson to a locomotive competition in 1849 (HACK 3/1/15) presumably with an aim to bring Hackworth to more prominence. After his father’s death his campaign became much more pronounced. He reacted to what he felt were inaccurate and unjust claims on the behalf of people involved in the early days of railways, particularly claims that Stephenson was responsible

 Science Museum Group 32 for the success of the locomotive. He was particularly angered by the claims made by Samuel Smiles in his published works. John Wesley Hackworth played out his anger in public, writing letters to newspapers and personally to railway writers such as Zerah Colburn. According to his nephew Robert Young Pickering he also gave talks supporting his father that made wild claims, he was a supporter of the theory that the Sanspareil was sabotaged in Forth Street Works, therefore causing his father to lose the Rainhill trials. Robert Young, his nephew writes in his book Timothy Hackworth and the Locomotive (London: Locomotive Publishing Company, 1923)

‘He wrote vigorously, and pounded his opponents in sledge-hammer style. Sometimes he did harm to his case by his downright methods, and on more than one occasion quarrelled with those not ill-disposed to himself or his cause, and his impetuous and abrupt disposition told against him’

John Wesley appears to have had money difficulties towards the end of his life. In 1887 his sister Prudence Nightingale (nee Hackworth) writes to Thomas Greener to ask him for help to lobby members of parliament, apparently the family could not support him and they were concerned he may end up in the workhouse. John Wesley died of cancer in Sunderland on 13/07/1891.

There are personal letters in this series. Early in the series Jane Dutton turns down John Wesley’s offer of marriage, then a subsequent letter to his wife Ann Hackworth (nee Turner) suggests that she was betrothed to be married to somebody else.

Letters 1843 are evidence of John Wesley Hackworth’s work alongside his father at Soho works, although one letter from Joseph Pease shows that at this time John Wesley had applied for the position of manager of engine department, Dublin and Kingston Railway. Letters from 1846-1847 show John Wesley Hackworth’s involvement in Soho Work’s contract to supply engines to the London and Brighton Railway, all these letters are from Timothy Hackworth (sr), except one from George Edward Young. Letters are evidence of difficulties that the business was facing at his time; Timothy Hackworth remarks on the amount of changes that have been made by the company as well as this letters frequently reference difficulties with money.

Records after his father’s death in 1850 show John Wesley Hackworth continuing the business, along with his brother after his father had died. The series contains evidence of John Wesley inventions and patents, but apart from this the series does not in any significant way record John Wesley Hackworth’s individual business ventures after he left Soho Works.

This series contains some of the frequent letters John Wesley wrote to newspapers and journals. This campaign begins with a letter from 1849 in which John Wesley Hackworth challenges Robert Stephenson to prove to who is superior in the construction and manufacture of locomotive engines. His public correspondence continues right up until his death. His letters to newspapers react to the claims made on behalf of the Stephenson’s that they were responsible for locomotive developments at the time of his father; he is particularly vocal about Samuel Smile’s works The Story of The Life of George Stephenson and Lives of Engineers . He wrote letters to papers that were reprinted and circulated: 1876 he wrote a

 Science Museum Group 34 letter to the Editor of the ‘Northern Echo’: ‘who invented the Steam Blast?’ and in 1885 ‘the Locomotive and Railway System’ under the pseudonym ‘Wylam’.

The series contains correspondence with individuals that were alive at the same time as Timothy Hackworth, and who were involved in his business activities such as Thomas Hackworth, Timothy Hackworth Sr’s brother; William Thompson who worked for Hackworth in Middlesbrough.

The last letter in the series was sent by C.K. Lord of the Baltimore and Ohio Railway, enquiring about a loan of objects to the World Columbian Exposition in America, which was answered by his family.

Much of the material in this series is likely to have been gathered for John Wesley’s planned publication on his father, which he never completed. Much of this material was re-used by Robert Young in his book published in 1923.

Research materials include declarations of individuals involved in building Timothy Hackworth designed locomotives, presumably gathered in order to use as evidence. One notebook also contains a transcript from a newspaper article where one of Stephenson’s former apprentices, now in a workhouse, apparently confesses that the burst cylinder on the Sanspareil was an act of sabotage. The series contains letters copied from originals including one letter not present from November 1831 elsewhere in the archive from Harris Dickinson to Timothy Hackworth discussing the possible infringement of a patent of Napier’s of Glasgow.

The series contains a notebook that describes some of his business, social and research activities on a trip to America. Records contain his lecture notes and research papers concerning early locomotive building and the recognition of his father.

John Wesley seems to have gathered copies of articles relating to his research, these include extracts from Nicholas Wood's treatise of 1825, Zerah Colburn, Daniel Kinnear Clark and the Rastrick Report to name a few. He also paid close attention to the writings of Samuel Smiles, an author that he openly criticised. Other parties appear to send him extracts, including one extract sent from Robert Young Pickering, who in correspondence with Robert Young ardently criticised John Wesley Hackworth’s writings. He also copied correspondence from newspapers that related to his own correspondence that he wrote to publicise his father.

She married a widow Charles Nightingale (b 1816 – d 1904) a Methodist Minister at the Wesleyan Methodist Chapel in Darlington 17/08/1858. Because Charles was a minister it is likely that the family moved location every three years.

Correspondence created and received by Prudence is evidence that she was active in family affairs. After her father died Prudence was active in settling his estate. At the time the estate was winding up she left her school and rented a farm at Heighington, where her brother Hackworth, Timothy b 1825 – d 1856) son of Hackworth, Timothy, Railway Engineer (b 1786 – d 1850) also lived until his death in 1856 aged 31. Prudence was active in trying to gain recognition for her father and was in correspondence with individuals interested in his life and work. She was involved in the sending Hackworth material to the Baltimore and Ohio Railway exhibit in the World Columbian Exposition, America. She also investigated when there was a possibility that the ‘’blast pipe letter’’ had been misplaced and displayed in an exhibition in London.

He married Edith Mary Lees, who was born in Chester in 1875 on 05/08/1905 and they had six daughters.

He became an engineer and spent a significant amount of time working in Asia and founded the Engineering firm R. Young and Co., Ltd in Penang, Malaysia. He was a member of the Straits Settlements Legislative which included Penang as well as acting as the editor and a chairman of the board of directors of the Pening Gazette . He was a Government and Municipal contractor and lessee of the Penang Steam Tramways. He was a Freemason and installed as Master of Royal Prince of Wales Lodge in Penang, later becoming D.G. Warden and later Deputy District Grand Master.

After the death of both his brother George Edward Young (b 1867 – d 1916) and his sister in law Henrietta Young (nee Chapman) in 1916 Robert Young and family moved back to Britain. After his retirement he moved to Haywards Heath and then moved to St Leonards on Sea.

On his return to England Robert Young wrote Timothy Hackworth and the Locomotive. He spent years researching for his publication and contacted members of the family, people who used to work with his father and prominent railway individuals in order to gain evidence for his book.

Correspondence was accumulated by Robert Young and is written in a personal and business capacity, the majority relates to the Robert Young’s publication Timothy Hackworth and the Locomotive . Some letters addressed to both Robert and his wife Edith Young (nee Lees) including some letters written to Edith after her husband’s death.

The series begins with letters written to Robert Young before he moves to Penang. The series contains letters from his brothers, father [George Edward Young] and mother [Jane Young (nee Hackworth)]. He corresponds with John Hennon Hackworth who voices his opinions about his attempts to bring prominace to Timothy Hackworth, John Hennon’s uncle. Later letters after the book is published include correspondence from Thomas Greener’s Son W.B. Greener, that discuss his father Thomas Greener’s work. There is quite lengthy correspondence with F.F. Bainbridge councillor in Shildon, who helps him with his research.

Early correspondence shows that Robert Young was involved with the Baltimore and Ohio Railway Company’s exhibit at World Columbian Exposition. Throughout the series Robert Corresponds at length, with his cousin Samuel Holmes who had emigrated to America in the 1870’s, sometimes sending more than one letter a day. Letters include information on the family, Samuel Holmes’ own recollections of Timothy Hackworth and Soho Works and current events. The first record that Robert Young was preposing to write a book is in 1907, during correspondence to Samuel Holmes. Holmes sends information and documents to Robert Young throughout the series and appears to hold a substantial amount of original material that now forms part of the archive now held at the NRM. Samuel Holmes seems to want a lot of say into what goes into the final publication and writes a ‘forward’ to the book. By 1920 it appears that Holmes does not agree with Robert Young’s style and arguments in his manuscript, even suggesting a change of name for the book. He dies in 1920 and his ‘forward’ is never used and

 Science Museum Group 55 does not survive.

Robert Young also corresponds with his other cousin Robert Young Pickering who also helps him with information and matetrial for his book. Robert Young Pickering was the son Robert Young Sr’s sister. His father was a teacher [I think in Shildon] but set up a successful engineering business in Scotland. Robert Young takes a different stance from Samuel Holmes and is very supportive of Robert Young’s final publication. Samuel Holmes is very ‘pro’ John Wesley Hackworth whilst Robert Young Pickering does not agree with John Wesley Hackworth’s style of campaigning for his father, or with many of his arguments.

Robert Young corresponds with a wide range of individuals whilst he is researching for his book and after it is published, includingrailway historians and prominent railway figures for example Dendy Marshall, Charles Turner, E.L. Ahrons. He also corresponds with individuals at the Science Museum, Patent Office and various universities. The series concludes with letters arranging the loan of items to the Science Museum and to other exhibitions. here is also lengthy correspondence with The Locomotive Publishing Company regarding the publication of his book.
