An Ordnance Survey map of Arbroath, surveyed in 1859 and published a couple of years later. By this time, Alexander Shanks had occupied "Dens Ironworks" on the northern edge of the town. Before this, in the 1840s, the correspondence address given by the business in advertisements was Oglivey Place which at the time was newly built, to the west of the railway heading north. Den Ironworks was on the opposite side of the railway.

A few years later, in 1863, Grimmond & Laird started selling mowers called "Mortons Patent." Their works was located at the "St Catherine's Engine Works" in St Catherine's Street Arbroath.
