Edward Bury
Edward Bury was born in 1794. He established the Clarence Foundry in Liverpool and in 1830 began producing locomotives for the Liverpool & Manchester Railway. His first locomotive, the Liverpool, marked a change in design, as he combined horizontal inside cylinders with a horizontal tubular boiler. He also used a bar, rather than plate frames. This gave his locomotives a spidery-looking appearance when seen broadside.
In 1833 Edward Bury became the locomotive superintendent of the London & Birmingham Railway. He tended to obtain most of the companies locomotives from his own firm, Bury, Curtis & Kennedy. Bury also designed the Victoria for the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway.
