Ashbury makers plate

The Ashbury Carriage and Iron Company Limited was a manufacturer of railway rolling stock founded by John Ashbury in 1837 in Commercial Street, Knott Mill in Manchester, England, near the original terminus of the Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne and Manchester Railway. It moved to Ashton Old Road, Openshaw in 1841 and became a limited company in 1862 as The Ashbury Railway Carriage and Iron Company Limited. Ashburys railway station is named after the company in this location. After the founder's death in 1866, the company was owned by his son, James Lloyd Ashbury. In 1898 the works covered about 20 acres (8.1 ha) and employed about 1,700.[1]
