Description: Location:- Corner of Watton and Cherry Streets, Werribee near railway gates. Mr David Thompson came here from Newstead about 1919 to manage Keast's Mill (located along the Cherry Street Railway crossing on the Melbourne side). A few years later Keast's Mill burnt down and Thompsons bought Ison's Mill. Thompson's conducted this business until early 1980 when it was taken over by Max Hayes. Thompson's also purchased the hardware business of F.H Oldis located opposite on Cherry Stree, Werribee. This was later owned by Tom Powell who conducted it for many years. Today it is a Mitre 10 Store. Once it was pulled down it became a Woolworths store. Now (1994) it is Safeway Supermarket. Original photograph not mounted 14 x 9cm.
