  • The Company was started in 1976 by George John of the Fowell family that had worked for many years at Charles Burrell and Sons of Thetford. George John had been senior draftsman and his farther was Burrells works foreman. George John set up as an Iron Founder in St. Ives, Cambridgeshire, a Rural farming area some distance from Thetford, in Norfolk. The companies records list only 109 engines built between 1877 and 1922. These records were passed to the Road Locomotive Society by Alan Duke. The first machine was to the designs that George John had worked on at Burrells, with the second engine to the Designs of William Box a haulage contractor contractor & manufacturer. Other engines were also built to this Box patent design by other firms including Burrell and Robey. The engine featured a rudimentary form of springing to cope with the rough roads, that were damaging William Box's loads of clayware from his pottery and brick works. The company changed its name several times as partners came and went, but most were some variation of Fowell & Co. History incomplete, see refs for more details.
