PRN 37069 On the west side of London Road was a tall, two-storey building. The upper floor being that of Hornsby's small component 'automatic shop', the lower being leased from Hornsby's by the Sullivan Machinery Company. This was another of the companies persuaded by Grantham Council's drive in the 1930s to bring new industries into the district. For a decade between 1936 and 1946 this American based company made a range of coal cutters and other mining machinery which pioneered the mechanisation of Britain's coal mining and boosted the wartime demand for this vital part of the war effort. This building have since disappeared to make way for commercial undertakings of many sorts.{1}
