This famous Staffordshire company made many locos on behalf of Robert Hudson. All of the diesel locos made used McLaren engines from Leeds. Upon the company having financial difficulties the designs and name were taken over by Hunslet Engine Co. The last steam engine built for industry (Trangkil) was a KS design built by Hunslet in 1971.
Some of the early ploughing engines were built by this maker on behalf of John Fowler prior to him stetting up the Steam Plough works in Leeds.
Though based in the North East there are a couple of links to Leeds engine building. Many of the locomotive orders built at the Round Foundry were subcontracted from Robert Stephenson, a century later Robert Stephenson & Hawthorn built some of Hunslet's Austerity 0-6-0ST's. After Kitson had closed the goodwill was transferred to RSH so when Corby wanted. Some of the early Fowler ploughing engines were built by RSH.
