Floating Dock Company

We have them in production 1861-1871 with yard numbers 1-22, this sequence seems to have been taken up by Hodgson & Soulsby 1878-1883 with yn's 24-47 on file. Hodgson's were at Cowpen Quay ... succeeded by Blyth SB Co, so was the FD Company also at Cowpen and if not where were they as we lack a 'yard name' for them.

Thanks Paul ... and an obvious question, did they build in a 'floating dock'?
