Atkinson & Philipson, of the Northumberland Coach Factory, Newcastle-on-Tyne, collaborated with Messrs. Toward and Co. to make a steam-powered car in 1896. The Coach Factory had been in business since 1774, making mail coaches, then railway carriages for George Stephenson.[1] In 1896 they produced their steam brake with 'a very strong and neat frame' and iron-shod wheels, which was advertised in various motor papers.[1] It is unknown if many were sold, but it is unlikely. Later (in 1912) they were advertised as motorcar body builders, and 'Coachmakers by Royal Warrant...'.[1]
