Smith & Nephew is a medical device company based in London, England, with U.S. headquarters in Andover, MA. In 2004, the company chose to close their medical device manufacturing plant located on Dascomb Road in Andover due to economic cut backs. However, the headquarters that specializes in endoscopy units, also in Andover, continued operations.
The William Jenkins House, located at 8 Douglass Street (formerly Jenkins Road), was built 10 years before the Revolution by William's grandfather, Samuel Jenkins.  It was a stop on the "Underground Railroad."
