Hathorn Davey

Hathorn Davey was a British manufacturer of steam engines, based in Leeds.

The Sun foundry was established in 1846 and made railway engines and pumping machinery until 1870.

Patented in 1871, a company brochure lists 46 examples of these large engines built up to 1906.

[3][4] Davey pumps were also installed in Japan, for example at Manda coal mine in 1876.

At least 7 of these engines were used in the Furness iron mines, 3 at Yarlside and the remainder at Harrison Ainslie's pits.
