| Summary: |
Messrs. Jim Brindle and Alfred Mayor took up 10 acres of land on Hamilton Road in Spearwood around 1907, and within seven years had transformed it into what some observers called "the best cultivated ten acres in the Commonwealth". They planted a large orchard, and in between their fruit trees they grew every imaginable kind of vegetable, winning awards at all the local agricultural shows. |
