Horwood Bagshaw Ltd. is an Australian agricultural machinery manufacturer and dealership chain whose origins date from the late 1800s. ==Horwood and Sons== Joel Horwood (ca. 1800 – 18 May 1864) was a mechanical engineer who arrived in Adelaide, South Australia on the ''Baboo'' in 1848 and the following year founded the Colonial Iron Works in Hindley Street, Adelaide. At least three of his four sons were educated at J. L. Young's Adelaide Educational Institution; all followed in the same line of business, initially with him, then in different parts of Australia. As Horwood and Son, then Horwood & Sons, he was able to supply the burgeoning mining industry with urgently required parts, some of substantial size.〔 〕 With his death and changes in ownership, it became successively Horwood, Ellis & Stevens, Horwood & Ellis in 1866〔(Advertisement ) ''South Australian Register'' 6 November 1866 p.1 accessed 19 June 2011〕 then Ellis & Chittleborough in 1868. That firm failed and the business was taken over by James A Whitfield in 1869.〔(Colonial Iron Works ) ''South Australian Register'' 15 May 1869 p.2 accessed 19 June 2011〕 Informative accounts of Adelaide's iron foundries and heavy engineering workshops of the period may be found (here ). In 1856 his first son, also named Joel Horwood, opened a branch of Horwood & Sons in Vine Street, Bendigo (then called Sandhurst).〔(Miscellaneous ) ''South Australian Advertiser'' 27 May 1864 p.6 accessed 19 June 2011〕 He was a successful breeder of Shorthorn cattle and Cleveland and Clydesdale horses at his property "Bridgewater Park" on the River Loddon. He died on 4 May 1900 aged 68 or 70 at his home "Glendure" on Myrtle Street Bendigo, survived by his second wife Rachelle. The foundry was taken over by the foreman Frank M. Brown in 1902 〔http://host3.designexperts.com.au/~bwarchiv/?p=9716〕 Joel (jnr)'s son Edward James Horwood was notable in Broken Hill, New South Wales as manager of BHP's mine works.〔(Sudden Death of Mr. E. J. Horwood ) ''Barrier Miner (Broken Hill)'' 14 November 1940 p.3 accessed 19 June 2011〕 He married Carrie, youngest daughter of Gilbert Wood on 9 April 1890. Joel Horwood's second son, Thomas Horwood (ca. 1829 – 12 August 1898), ran a Horwood and Son foundry at Wallaroo, ownership of which was taken over in 1869 by T. R. Heath.〔(Topics of the Day ) ''South Australian Advertiser'' 20 May 1869 p.2 accessed 19 June 2011〕 He continued to manage the business, then moved to Bendigo. His fourth son, John William Horwood (ca. 1834 – 23 September 1915) returned to England in 1865 to study engineering and subsequently purchased the Albion Foundry in Castlemaine, Victoria.〔(Personal ) ''The Argus (Melbourne)'' 28 September 1915 p.6 accessed 19 June 2011〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Horwood Bagshaw Ltd.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
