PCN Peddar bought the business of Mr S Hunt and set up the firm of Hunt and Peddar as auctioneers, valuers and land agents in Market Place, Stowmarket.
In 1874 Henry Lacy Scott started a livestock market, joining Simpson’s and Lawrence’s, buying some land to the rear of the Wagon public house in Risbygate Street. Later he acquired the Lawrence’s auction site with an improved access from St Andrew’s Street.
They bought more land behind Risbygate Street, formerly Mr Beard’s garden including the present drive next to No 10. A neighbouring piece of land was bought in 1924.
