Loggans Mill had been leased since 1810 by the Hosken family of Carwin Farm

The mill had been leased since 1810 by the Hosken family of Carwin Farm (next to Richard’s Farm Shop), and on the death of his father in 1827 William Hosken took over. After a fire in 1852 destroyed the mill, he rebuilt it on a much larger scale (todays ruin) and continued to expand the business.

William Hosken died in 1889. A year later his descendants went into partnership with one of the many grandsons of the famous Richard Trevithick, also named Richard Trevithick and S. Polkinhorn from Truro to form Hosken, Trevithick, Polkinhorn & Co. Ltd. They continued to prosper.
