History
R. & W. Hawthorn Leslie and Company, Limited was Newcastle-on-Tyne, England-based shipbuilding and locomotive manufacturer founded in 1886; the firm's successor ceased building ships in 1982.
The Company was formed by the merger of the shipbuilder A. Leslie and Company with the locomotive manufacturer R. and W. Hawthorn in 1886. In 1968 the Company's shipbuilding interests were merged with that of Swan Hunter and the Vickers Naval Yard to create Swan Hunter & Tyne Shipbuilders. The former Hawthorn Leslie shipyards became part of British Shipbuilders in 1977. The main shipbuilding yard at Hebburn closed in 1982.
