Recruitment in Grantham

Grantham has a rich history, dating back to Anglo-Saxon times but since the introduction of the LNER and GNR lines running through the centre, the town's growth has spiralled. Grantham has a large industrial history, consisting of the founding of Richard Hornsby & Sons; a company who built originally steam engines, then shifted to the production of oil, petrol and gas engines. Many other companies followed suit in the steam engine production industry including Barford's.

Grantham is also known for being the second place in the UK, after London, to recruit and train female police officers. It was the first provincial force to ask the new Corps of Women's Police Volunteers to supply them with policewomen as they found they worked more effectively with juveniles and women.
