Historical information

The photo was taken on the occasion of the launch of Drummond's Restaurant in what is now known as Connor’s Cottage, in Piesse Street, Toodyay.
The owners were Simon Hamersley and David Carew-Reid and more than 200 people attended the opening .
Tony Motion, of ‘Buckland’, cut the red ribbon.
The name of the restaurant paid tribute to James Drummond Snr., a respected colonial botanist, who owned ‘Hawthornden’, north of Toodyay. Portraits of Drummond and his descendants lined the walls of the French-style café.
