Tuthill Pumps of Belfield Street Ilkeston ( photo 1985) was a co-partnership of Nottingham Precision Components Ltd. In the 1980s Tuthill re-located to premises on the Ilkeston Manor Industral Estate , where it still exists today (2016)
Nottingham Precision Components was badly affected by the depression of the motor industry at the time of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and ceased activities.
The NPC workplace was remembered by some ex-employees as depressingly gloomy, smelly and grimy.
The former NPC building is now used by a charity that provides second hand furniture to qualifying low income persons and families . Though it has cleansed the former factory machine shop space plain evidence of its former use remains, particularly in certain places - even the floor.
Note : just a few years before, terraced houses had stood to the left of the To Let notice.
