"Wah Tea Estate in Palampur, Himachal Pradesh, was established in 1857 by the British. It has a rich history of continuous tea cultivation, even surviving the 1905 earthquake. The estate was later acquired by Sir Sikander Hayat-Khan, who named it after his birthplace, Wah. In 1953, the Chaiwala family took over, and the estate is now managed by the third and fourth generations of the family, Deepak and Surya Prakash, as stated on The Lodge at Wah. "

Principal frontage of the former Aladdin Lamps factory built in 1931. After the factory closed, the main manufacturing area was demolished and the offices incorporated into a B&Q superstore. This has now closed too.
The factory was established in 1876 in McPherson Street, Casterton, which is still its present site, by Ben Jeffreys using bottling equipment shipped out from England. He operated it until 1903 when his two sons took over, adopting the trade name "Jeffrey Bros". In 1946 Mr Bill Young purchased a third share in the firm and held it until 1956 when he sold it back to the Jeffreys family.
Graeme Jeffreys, a grand-son of Ben Jeffreys, then joined the firm making this the third generation of Jeffreys to be associated with the business. He originated the sales name "Big J" and introduced a 30oz bottle using his grand-father's initials "B.J". The firm remained in the family until 1969 when it was purchased by Messrs. Phillips and Johnson, who up until the present time [1973] still trade under the name of Jeffreys Bros.
Jack Phillips and 'Kiwi' Johnson also purchased the Portland Aerated Water Company and 'Kiwi' moved to Portland to run the business whilst Jack Phillips remained in Casterton to run Jeffreys Bros. Jack was a former Casterton policeman.
