Waring Brothers was an English company specialising in railway structures.

History

The company was founded by Charles Waring, William Waring and Henry Waring in 1841 in York as a civil engineering business. By 1853 the company was working for the Central Peninsular Railway Company in Portugal. It went on to complete numerous railway structures including three viaducts in Luxembourg (including the Passerelle) and the station (but not the roof, which was tendered separately) of St Pancras in London.

Demise of the company

Charles Waring went into politics as Member of Parliament for Poole in 1865 after which time there were very few contracts entered into so it appears that the company was wound up in the early 1870s.
