Here are Peter and Philip Harkness of Harkness Roses. They were delighted to be invited to the official opening, as it was Leeming Bar station that allowed their nursery business (started in 1879) to really flourish. With the station next to the nursery, they could quickly despatch cut flowers, plants etc. all over the country. The Harkness Roses nursery these days is down south as the moved in the mid 20th century to get a better climate to grow roses. (02/05/2022)Click here to see higher resolution photo
