Messrs Trevithick and Mabbott, corn, seed and manure merchants, Mount's Bay Stores.
Business commenced in Market Jew Street at the lower end, in 1824, where the GWR station was to be.
First run by Mr Stephens (who was the first to bring Peruvian Guano to the area), then Mr Maxwell and then Mr Stephen Hill;
GWR then secured the premises when they built the station, new stores were then built in the situation seen here.
Mr Hill passed away and the business was then handled by Charles S Wills of Bristol.
It was sold to Charles Trevithick of Pencliffe, Hayle.
A partnership was struck with Howell Mabbott. They later built a manure factory at Gulval.
