Ferguson and Muschamp, formed in 1855, took over the oil shale workings of the Bituminous Shale Company at Kimmeridge and produced fertilizer at their Sandford works to the north-east of nearby Swanage. the company failed after only three years, in 1858, the workings and Sandford works being taken over by Wanostrocht and Company producing, among other products, shale-oil gas for street lighting in Paris. Finincial problems led to Wanostrocht and Company being bought by the Wareham Oil and Candle Company which, working on a smaller, scale survived until 1872 when the Sandford works were destroyed by fire and the Company was forced to wind up.
