Works history.
Metropolitan-Vickers and Beyer, Peacock & Co. formed a joint venture company in November 1949 to design and manufacture diesel, electric and gas turbine locomotives. Because Beyer, Peacock’s Gorton works was still busy producing steam locomotives, an alternative site for the new locomotives to be built had to be found
Newport Rolling Mills, Middlesbrough, for the manufacture of iron plates. 
He introduced a plan of profit-sharing with his workmen; no labour disputes arose. 
In 1864, he also founded the Cleveland Institution of Engineers.
In 1888 he laid out the Bowesfield Iron Works at Stockton-on-Tees, and in 1891 the New British Iron Works at Corngreaves. 
He moved his practice to Westminster in 1894.
He was a member of the Institution of Civil Engineers.
