Historical information

An image of the tea rooms that were owned by the Pound family and was originally located in Cottesloe but was later moved to Croyden Rd in Rolystone. The tea rooms advertised the Derry Na Sura wine.
Derry Na Sura Winery was located on Albany Highway in Armadale. It was started in 1896 and operated until the 1950s when it was sold first for farm land and then subdivided for housing. Today the suburb of Mt Nasura covers much of the old vineyard. In the 1910s-1930s it was one of the largest wine producers in the state.
