They were responsible for manufacturing the antique clock face for the Darlington Clock Tower and their Newall Equatorial telescope was the largest telescope ever built at the time of its manufacture in the nineteenth century. T Cooke & Sons became a limited company in 1897.

During the First World War, T. Cooke & sons, focussed their business on defence products and were a large supplier to the Government although they had by this time been acquired by Vickers Limited, themselves a military supplier of note. Just after the Great War in 1922, the company merged with Troughton & Simms to become Cooke, Troughton & Simms. The company still exists today and now trades as Cooke Optics Limited with a focus on cinematography lenses.
