Description
Owners of rich red haematite mines in Furness 1852 Formation of partnership between Henry William Schneider and Robert Hannay to continue the iron ore mines of Schneider and Co. 1858 Schneider, Hannay and Co bought land from the Furness Railway at Hindpool on which to build new furnaces 1859 The Ironworks of Schneider, Hannay and Co were established. With the setting up of the smelting plant at Hindpool the Furness Railway lost most of the shipment traffic in iron ore, as the bulk of this was now smelted locally, but this loss was more than offset by the pig iron and coke traffic which resulted from the establishment of Messrs. Schneider and Hannay's works..... -
