Hunslet's History

Founded in 1864, the name Hunslet has been associated with locomotives since the early days of steam. By 1866 Hunslet was already shipping their tenth locomotive to Java (Indonesia).

Over 100 years later, they supplied the last of their over 2200 steam locomotives produced – to Java! This is now recognised as the last British-built industrial steam locomotive.
