Editing Vulcan Foundry (section)

==History==
The Vulcan Foundry opened in 1832, as  '''Charles Tayleur and Company ''' to produce [[Girder|girders]] for bridges, switches, crossings and other ironwork following the opening of the [[Liverpool and Manchester Railway]]. Due to the distance from the locomotive works in [[Newcastle-upon-Tyne]], it seemed preferable to build and support them locally.{{sfn|Gudgin|1976|page=6}} In 1832, [[Robert Stephenson]] became a partner for a few years.  The company had become '''The Vulcan Foundry Company''' in 1847 and acquired limited liability in 1864.  From the beginning of 1898, the name changed again to '''The Vulcan Foundry Limited,''' dropping the word 'company.'
