Robinson Thwaites' father Thomas was a master plumber. Robinson trained as a plumber to follow in his father's business, and started to practice as a plumber.〔1841 Census, Public Record Office HO 107/1291/1 (Horton, Bradford)〕
But instead, by 1848 he founded the Vulcan Iron Works at Bradford, as shown in an 1858 lithograph in the Illustrated Commerce Guide.〔J. Currey, Illustrated Commerce Guide, 1858〕 His firm, Robinson Thwaites and Co, later (1862) in partnership with Edward Carbutt as Thwaites and Carbutt, and (in 1880) Thwaites Brothers, acquired a high reputation for its machinery used in the production and manufacture of iron and Bessemer process steel.〔Institution of Mechanical Engineers: Biography of Edward Carbutt http://heritage.imeche.org/Biographies/EdwardCarbutt〕
Robinson Thwaites and Co grew from a firm of "3 seniors, 50 men and 6 boys" in 1851 to "130 men and 13 boys" (as Thwaites and Carbutt) by 1871.〔1871 Census, Public Record Office RG 10/4478 (Horton, Bradford)〕 Thwaites Brothers continued in production until at least 1914.〔Grace's Guide, Thwaites Brothers of Vulcan Works, Thornton Road, Bradford http://www.gracesguide.co.uk/wiki/Thwaites_Brothers〕
