NotesPreviously Barr & Sugden (until 1882) then Barr & Son (until 1896)
In 1955 George Leslie Wates bought the business of Barr & Sons. He merged this nursery with R. Wallace & Co. Ltd. on the 1st January 1956. The combined business was carried on from The Old Gardens under the joint direction of Mr George R. Barr, Mr Herbert R. Barr and Mr J. Stewart Hale under the name of Wallace & Barr. Stocks from Barr & Sons were to be planted up at new nurseries in Forest Way and at E. B. Champernowne. Wallace & Barr was eventually bought by P. de Jager & Sons in 1962.
