In 1896 Chapman and Furneaux took over the business of Black, Hawthorn and Co but continued using the Black Hawthorn name instead of its own. In 1902 the company ceased trading with the goodwill being purchased by R. and W. Hawthorn, Leslie and Co. The locomotive part of this company was transferred to Robert Stephenson in 1937.
