Burden’s almost certainly were the first business to paint the building with its distinctive white signage rectangles and black borders. Archive photos show Burden’s to have occupied the building, probably as a tenant of Cosens, shortly after Templeman’s departure around 1920 through to the end of the second world war in 1945. This period witnessed several infrastructure improvements including a new town bridge in 1930, the widening of the quayside and track improvements to accommodate demand on the railway from quayside trade and tourism businesses. The Burden name was most probably that of Henry and Arthur Burden who set up on Poole Quay in 1887 or thereabouts, as chandlers and wholesale and retail coal suppliers. H & A Burden also operated cargo vessels moving clay, coal, timber, cereals and other goods between London and south coast ports, including Weymouth.

Responsible for building ‘Weymouth Mills’ on Helen Lane in 1892, Thomas Templeman also briefly operated his grain storage business from the Deheers building around the turn of the 1900s. As well as corn, Templeman’s stored animal feed such as oil cakes for cattle. The oil cake, formed as a by-product from the oilseed crushing process during soap manufacture, was a good source of protein and energy in animal feed and made by the likes of J Bibby & Sons. Templeman’s tenure was short lived when, in December 1917, a fire broke out nearby destroying Weymouth Flour Mills.
