"In 1890 C. F. Burley’s son, William H. Burley, became Director and Manager. [of The Humber Brick & Tile Works] Three years later he negotiated a contract to supply the Wilmington Cement Works in Hull of George and Thomas Earle with three cargoes of blue clay a week for a period of six years (later increased) at a price of two shillings and sixpence per ton free on board. …. Burley was able to finance the purchase of wagons but the cost of a locomotive was beyond him. Earle’s came to the rescue with one which they purchased from (it is believed) Whitaker Bros. Ltd. who had been using it in Hull on the construction of the Alexandra Dock Extension."
