Fielding & Platt
Fielding & Platt (founded October 1866)〔("FIELDING & PLATT, An innovative Gloucester engineering company. The First 100 Years, 1866-1966." ) by Stephen Mills in ''Gloucestershire Society for Industrial Archaeology Journal'', 1992, pp. 8-17. (Archived here. )〕 was a firm of hydraulic engineers who were an important part of the manufacturing sector in Gloucester until the 1990s.〔"Industrial heritage was a huge apprentice draw" by Kevin George in The Citizen, Saturday 17 September 2011.〕 Started by two Lancashire men, Samuel Fielding (died 1874) and James Platt, the firm exploited the portable hydraulic rivetting technology of Ralph Hart Tweddell to build a business that exported hydraulic machinery worldwide.〔 Apart from the wide range of items made, the firm was particularly noted for the quality and long-life of their products.
James Platt was also a director of the Gloucester Railway Carriage and Wagon Company.〔"GLOUCESTER RAILWAY CARRIAGE AND WAGON COMPANY" in ''The Birmingham Daily Post'', 17 August 1889, Issue 9718, p. 6.〕
==First orders==
The first orders were for small engineering machines and components but the firm quickly expanded into bigger items. They produced an iron seagoing steamer in 1868〔 and in 1874〔Or 1870 according to the SBAGB.〕 they produced the steam boat ''S.S. Sabrina'' for the ''Gloucester & Berkeley Canal Co''〔(Sabrina. ) The Steam Boat Association of Great Britain, 2009. Retrieved 28 September 2011.〕 that was used on the canal between Gloucester and Sharpness. The ''Sabrina'' is still in use on the Thames.
Between 1873 and 1875 they converted a number of broad gauge locomotives for stationary duties at Llanharon Colliery and in 1880 they built a bridge across the Severn at Gloucester Docks, adjacent to the North Warehouse, which was not replaced until 1962.〔
