*An advertisement dates the Limited Company business back at least as far as 1916.<ref>[https://newspapers.library.wales/view/4121947/4121951 Abergavenny Chronicle, 20 October 1916 via The National Library of Wales] (Retrieved 12 September 2020)</ref>
*A 1928 invoice shows a flour mill in Mill Street, offices and warehouse in Oxford Street, and corn mills and manure works at the Railway Station, Kidderminster. A 1936 contemporary report refers to "J P Harvey & Co, of Kidderminster and Evesham".<ref>[https://www.eveshamjournal.co.uk/news/8786146.top-sprout-pickers-met-at-dawn-to-see-who-was-best-in-their-field/ Evesham Journal, 13 January 2011] (Retrieved 12 September 2020)</ref> J.P. Harvey (Wholesale Grain) Limited's registered address was 'P.O. Box 12, Station Mills, Kidderminster".
* A 1937 GWR Traffic Research Committee report notes that due to "an active road transport policy being pursued" by J.P.Harvey, "Payments to GWR dropped from £8755 in 1931 to £4912 in 1936, notwithstanding extension of business".<ref>Minutes of meeting of the GWR Worcester Division Traffic Research Committee, held by The National Archive</ref>
Taken together they suggest Station Mill(s) was a form of the address at the station, and continuing operation of the mill on the site for a long period as part of a wider and long established business in several locations in Kidderminster and elsewhere.
