About MeUnsigned pen-and-ink drawing depicting the battle within the town council over the purchase of Torry Farm and the building of a bridge over the River Dee. John Harper, member of the Party of Progress, offered to construct a wire suspension bridge on condition that he was allowed to draw 1/2 penny postage from travellers for a period of one year.
