Catalogue Description
MISCELLANEOUS PUBLIC AND PRIVATE ACTIVITIESOF THE PRINCIPALS OF THE FIRM
Bagnall Engineering Enterprises
R.S. Bagnall and Sons Ltd. was the successor to a business established in 1822 with works at Winlaton and, latterly, at Hylton. In 1920 the company went into voluntary liquidation for reconstruction as two new companies: R.S. Bagnall and Sons (established 1822) Ltd. at Winlaton and Bagnall's Forge and Engineering Co. Ltd. at Hylton. At about the same time the Bagnall Sheet Metal Co. Ltd. was established at Winlaton in association with R.S. Bagnalls, with Bagnalls and Cook Ltd. as agents for them in Newcastle. In 1924 an unsuccessful attempt was made to reorganise the Hylton business as the Hylton Forge and Engineering Co. Ltd. to avoid total collapse.
Because of the personal guarantees given by members of the Bagnall family in connexion with their various companies (and because of the actions resulting from these guarantees) it has been impossible to divide the papers neatly into sections which would correspond with the various enterprises.
These papers arise from E.R. Hanby Holmes acting as trustee for the debenture holders in the various concerns.
