Fairbairn, Greenwood and Batley
From Graces Guide
Peter Fairbairn added the construction of engineering tools to his business as the Wellington foundry; the Crimean War gave an impetus to this branch of the business. Fairbairn constructed large machines, utilised at Woolwich and Enfield, for the purposes of cutting, twisting, boring, and tearing iron and steel: cannon-rifling machines, milling machines, planing and slotting machines, and others.
1840s Thomas Greenwood became manager of the Wellington Foundry, Leeds, and shortly afterwards joined Sir Peter Fairbairn as partner together with Mr. Batley as Fairbairn, Greenwood and Batley.
