• Benjamin_Hick abstract "Benjamin Hick (1 August 1790 – 9 September 1842) was a civil and mechanical engineer. He was born at Leeds in 1790 and trained at the Round Foundry with Fenton, Murray and Wood, the well known makers of steam engines, textile machines and other machinery; here he was entrusted with the installation of steam engines and offered a partnership, but declined moving in 1810 to Bolton and Smalley, Thwaites and Co. at Rothwell's Union Foundry, Blackhorse Street. He had a brother John Hick also trained as an engineer, who worked at the Bowling iron works near Bradford.In July 1820 Hick joined other leading industrialists Isaac Dobson, Thomas Hardcastle, Peter Rothwell and engineer Joshua Routledge to form the Bolton Gaslight and Coke Company to provide gas for public buildings, street lamps and industral lighting. With the inevitable fire risk of naked flame, the Great Bolton Trustees and a number of mill owners bought horse-drawn fire engines; Hick became a Trustee of Great Bolton during the early 1820s, he was an Anglican and prominent member of Bolton's Pitt Club (formed 1809), that helped him move amongst the middle class social elite of the time. In 1824 he joined the Institute of Civil Engineers, proposed by Joshua Field, Joseph Farey and James Jones.Along with many other leading figures from the Bolton area he was a promoter and with Peter Rothwell an original shareholder of the Bolton and Leigh Railway that opened 1 August 1828 with the naming of the locomotive Lancashire Witch by Mrs Hulton, wife of the vilified William Hulton JP, High Sheriff of Lancashire. Robert Stephenson was driver of the engine he designed and built with chief engineer George Stephenson, who was a passenger with the other guests.In 1837 Hick was, among other local figures including William Bolling, John Hargreaves elder (1780–1860) and Jr, a member of the Provisional Committee of the Bolton and Preston Railway. By 1841 Hick was Deputy chairman and a Director with chairman John Hargreaves; the two families (Hick and Hargreaves) were linked by marriage in 1836. Chief engineer was John Urpeth Rastrick and resident engineer Alexander James Adie, son of Alexander Adie inventor of the sympiesometer. The line opened 22 June 1843 after Hick's death, following some problems in its construction, and merged with the North Union Railway Company 10 May 1844.".
