Hawthorn Leslie and Company

R. & W. Hawthorn Leslie and Company, Limited, usually referred to as Hawthorn Leslie, was a shipbuilder and locomotive manufacturer. The company was founded on Tyneside in 1886 and ceased building ships in 1982.
==History==

The Company was formed by the merger of the shipbuilder A. Leslie and Company in Hebburn with the locomotive works of R. and W. Hawthorn at St.Peter's in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1886.〔(Local information on Hebburn )〕 The Company disposed of its locomotive manufacturing interests in 1937 to Robert Stephenson and Company which became ''Robert Stephenson and Hawthorns Ltd.''〔(Building for the World ) The Journal, 22 May 2007〕
Perhaps the most famous ship built by the Company was HMS ''Kelly'' launched in 1938 and commanded by Lord Louis Mountbatten.〔(HMS Kelly )〕 In 1968 the Company's shipbuilding interests were merged with that of Swan Hunter and the Vickers Naval Yard to create Swan Hunter & Tyne Shipbuilders.〔(Swan Hunter: History )〕
The Company's shipbuilding interests were nationalised and subsumed with British Shipbuilders in 1977; in 1979 its engine business was merged with George Clark & NEM, which had also been nationalised, to form ''Clark Hawthorn''.〔(Tyne & Wear Archives: Hawthorn Leslie )〕
The Company's main shipbuilding yard at Hebburn closed in 1982,〔(Retracing a river’s proud history ) The Journal, 28 September 2004〕 was sold to Cammell Laird〔(Shipbuilders on the Tyne with Shetland Ancestry )〕 and then acquired by A&P Group in 2001〔(A&P Holdings acquires Cammell Laird Holdings )〕 but now lies derelict.〔(Danger Yard ) South Shields Gazette, 8 June 2006〕 The Company itself, deprived of its main activity, diversified into telephones.〔(Blue chips take the lead as shares rally ) Independent, 13 February 2003〕 In March 1993 Vodafone made a bid for the Company which by then had become a mobile phone air time reseller.
