The last Antiquaries talk for 2016 will be held on Thursday 1st December when Reid Harrison and Paul Bishop will deliver a presentation on 'Tomatoes, Tulips and Chrysanths at Temple Farm near Allander Toll'. The talk will be illustrated by a truly stunning set of coloured images of activities at the farm during the 1950s and early 1960s, taken by members of the Harrison family, the farm's owners. As a member of the family Reid Harrison remembers these activities very well - indeed he features in several of the slides. So he will present the material with some authority, ably supported by Antiquaries member, Professor Paul Bishop. Temple Farm was on the site of what is now Dobbies Garden Centre.
