This used to be the site of Tibbitts and Allen Ltd, the mechanical engineers. This company was formed in 1946 to manufacture small domestic articles. From this arose a demand for a large range of specialised components for the electrical, radio and instrument industries. The company expanded into premises in the Chesterton area.
