"Peter Thompson was the founder of the important business carried on by the Thompson family for half a century. They were the last survivors of the music trade which once thronged St. Paul's Church Yard, and their place of business had very likely been one of the shops held by members of the trade a century or more previously . In 1780, Peter . a grandson of the original founder, is added to the firm, which now stands as Samuel, Ann & Peter, and the business prospers still more."
