He moved his works to new premises in Love Lane, Liverpool, on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and near the Clarence Dock, hence the name 'Clarence Foundry and Steam Engine Works'.
Around this time he recruited as his manager James Kennedy, who had gained locomotive building experience working for George Stephenson and Mather, Dixon and Company.
The first locomotive built by Edward Bury and Company, Dreadnought, was intended to compete in the Rainhill Trials, but could not be finished in time.
It was a 0-6-0 and did some ballasting work on the L&MR but is said to have been objected to because it was on six wheels.
It was sold to the Bolton and Leigh Railway in 1831.

Bury's second locomotive Liverpool was on four wheels, and was tried on the Liverpool & Manchester but the objection this time was to the size of the wheels, 6 feet in diameter, described as "dangerous" by George Stephenson.
The wheels were reduced to 4 feet 6 inches, but this engine also went to the Bolton & Leigh.
Thereafter, Bury only succeeded in selling one engine, Liver, to the Liverpool & Manchester Railway.

Liverpool combined near-horizontal inside cylinders with a multitubular boiler and a round, dome-topped firebox, mounted on a simple wrought-iron bar-frame inside the wheels, rather than wooden outside frames and inside iron sub-frames.
This was a well thought-out and advanced design, which lasted.
Most subsequent Bury locomotives followed this same basic design, which was copied by other firms, in Europe and the U.S.A.
