Day, Summers and Company

Day, Summers and Company was a British steam locomotive manufacturer and shipbuilder in the Southampton area.

[1][2] In around 1830 or 1831, Summers and Ogle, based at the Iron Foundry, Millbrook, Southampton, made two, three-wheeled steam carriages.

The distance, full seven miles, was cleared, notwithstanding the crowded state of the roads, in thirty-one minutes, and the sudden and narrow ascent to Mr Rothschild's made with perfect precision, which was hardly to be expected from so long and ponderous a vehicle.

The party was most urbanely and kindly received by Mr and Mrs Rothschild, and, after having partaken of refreshments, returned to Baker-street.In 1834, two companies were founded at Millbrook.

Two more locomotives were built for the London and Southampton Railway and two for Bourne, Bartley and Company.
