	Alfred Yarrow
		After serving an apprenticeship in Stepney, he opened a yard — Yarrow and Hedley (a partnership) — at Folly Wall, Poplar on the Isle of Dogs in 1865 to build steam river launches.
		By this time, the Hedley partnership had been dissolved (1875), and the company was known as Yarrow & Co, and around 1898 moved out of Folly shipyard to the nearby London Yard.
		It was to be a short-lived move, for less than 10 years later (1906–1908) Yarrow gradually moving his yard northwards to Scotstoun on the banks of the River Clyde on the west coast of Scotland, closing the London shipyard in 1908.

	House of Commons Hansard Debates for 23 Jan 1992
		As Yarrow is the flagship in my constituency and the biggest private employer in the whole of Glasgow, I hope that the Secretary of State will accept my sense of relief and--yes--gratitude that the Ministry has made that decision today.
		While the Secretary of State's announcement is good news for Yarrow and the Clyde, it is none the less a disappointment for the other three shipyards that submitted tenders, not least VSEL in Barrow, although the order for the 4.5 inch gun would be welcome.
		They show very clearly that the Government are ensuring that, while we may reduce the personnel numbers in our armed forces, we are increasing the relative proportion of funds spent on their equipment to ensure that in the future they have the equipment that they need to perform the tasks that we set them.

	The Gresley W1 4-6-4 "Hush-Hush" Locomotive
		Due to the similarity with marine practice, the Clyde shipbuilders of Yarrow and Co. were consultants to Alco on this project.
		Development of the W1 also started in 1924, when Gresley was considering ways of efficiently generating steam which used less coal than the (then) heavy coal consumption of the A1 Pacifics.
		In September 1924, Gresley approached Harold Yarrow (of Yarrow and Co.), and over the next three years they designed a new water-tube boiler for locomotive use.

		Three yards--Cammell Laird Shipbuilders in Birkenhead, Swan Hunter Shipbuilders in Newcastle upon Tyne and Yarrow Shipbuilders in Glasgow--responded, and it has been an extremely keen and commercial competition, to the taxpayer's benefit.
		However, I am sure that Yarrow's employees will not be too deeply dismayed because they know that they work in a first-class yard.
		I am sorry that it was not possible to share the order with Yarrow, but I was even sorrier last time when Yarrow won all the frigates and it was not possible to share one with us.
