W. G. Armstrong and Co
William Armstrong, George Cruddas and Armorer Donkin established W. G. Armstrong and Co at Elswick Works in 1847. The company was formed to manufacture innovative hydraulic devices, cranes and bridges. The company soon also became a producer of armaments, including the Armstrong breech-loading gun, used to re-equipped the British Army after the Crimean War. In 1882 the company merged with Michell Co, to form Armstrong, Mitchell and Co.
