Elzabeth, South Australia, in 1960The Pinnock Sewing Machine Company was founded by&nbsp;<strong>John Alfred Pinnock<\/strong>&nbsp;(born Paddington, Sydney, 1869) in 1891, and initially operated out of the Queen Victoria Markets Building in Sydney. In the 1920s the business moved to a building down the road in Druitt Street. Pinnock died in Randwick, Sydney, in 1942 and the business was taken over by his second son,&nbsp;<strong>Clarence Tunbridge Pinnock&nbsp;<\/strong>(born Orange, New South Wales, 1895). The eldest son, William Arthur Pinnock, had been killed in action in World War I, at Mouquet Farm (Pozieres) in August 1916. After World War II, production of Pinnock sewing machines was sited at the Lithgow Small Arms Factory. On Clarrie\u2019s death in 1955 the company was sold, but his son, also&nbsp;<strong>William Arthur Pinnock&nbsp;<\/strong>(born Mosman, Sydney, 1925), stayed on as a director. With financial incentives from the South Australian Government through its Housing Trust, in 1957 the business was moved to a factory in the then newly established industrial city of Elizabeth in South Australia. It was the city&#8217;s first plant, preceding General Motors Holden, and employed 50 workers.&nbsp;&nbsp;Apart from sewing machines, it made vacuum cleaners, floor polishers, oil space heaters and lawn mowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-sjJH3-UsSMQ\/VH_P58hwnOI\/AAAAAAABRUw\/B9V9qP4LauI\/s1600\/951414Holdens.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-sjJH3-UsSMQ\/VH_P58hwnOI\/AAAAAAABRUw\/B9V9qP4LauI\/s1600\/951414Holdens.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-sjJH3-UsSMQ\/VH_P58hwnOI\/AAAAAAABRUw\/B9V9qP4LauI\/s1600\/951414Holdens.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Elizabeth industrial siteIt&nbsp;<strong><em>never<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;made&nbsp;<strong>typewriters<\/strong>.
