Offices. 1858 with later C19 alterations. For the firm of Manning, Wardle and Co. Red brick, slate roof, dentilled eaves cornice. 2 storeys, possibly of 2 builds, 7 first-floor windows. A symmetrical facade with central panelled door with overlight in round arch with keystone; tall stone surround with pilasters, entablature and cornice. 4-pane sashes in segmental headed openings with keystones and stone sills throughout. Right return: blocked doorway left, windows as front, screen wall and gates attached (qv). INTERIOR: not inspected. HISTORICAL NOTE: the firm was established by several leading employees of EB Wilson's Railway Foundry together with Alexander Campbell who had been brought in by shareholders to manage the company when Wilson left. Together with CW Wardle and John Manning the new company bought land adjoining the Railway Foundry from Viscount Boyne and set up as general engineers. The Railway Foundry estate was auctioned in 1859 and Manning Wardle bought the drawings for 17 different types of engines as well as other items, beginning then to build locomotives of Wilson type, concentrating on four and six coupled saddle tanks for contractor and industrial use. Together with the neighbouring firm of the Hunslet Engine Company the area was the foremost site of railway engine production in the country, many of the products being exported.
