The South Stockton Iron Ship Building Co was set up in 1852 on the former yard of engine builders Fossick of Stockton. 1855 The yard was taken over by Joseph Richardson and George Nixon Duck, and traded between 1855 and 1925. In 1919 Richardson, Duck & Co. became a public company and in 1920 James and Walter Gould acquired a controlling interest in it. In 1922 the yard suffered industrial action and a lack of orders. In May 1925 the Gould Group went into liquidation and in 1933 the yard was demolished.
