He resigned after a disagreement with the works manager, Thomas Wodward in 1846, and set up on his own at 126, Nun Street, Derby moving to 27, Queen Street as John Smith & Sons in 1850, and his posterity ran the firm from these premises until 1999 when Smiths, since the 1870s concentrating on turret clocks, moved to Alfreton Road, Derby.
