John F. Tenney supervises a conveyor belt of potatoes: Hastings, Florida

from Florida Memory

• Pixel Wrangler said:

  "Henry Flagler built tourist hotels at St. Augustine in the late 1800s. He needed a local source of fresh vegetables for his guests, so he persuaded Thomas Horace Hastings, his cousin, to develop a farm. "A small community evolved into a town, which was named for its founder in 1890. Hastings is known as the "Potato Capital of Florida" with 21,000 acres (85 km2) of potato farms, but also produces cabbage, onions, eggplant and ornamental horticulture. "As of 2004, the population for Hastings recorded by the U.S. Census Bureau was 607." --Wilipedia

  In its day The Dripping Well was an extremely popular Victorian attraction. Charabancs (sightseeing wagons) would leave the monument in Hastings each day to bring visitors to this beauty spot.
  
  Situated at the head of a picturesque, thickly-wooded glen, the Dripping Well, overhung by a huge beach-tree, was a favourite subject for both artist and photographer.  John Logie Baird is said to have drawn inspiration here for inventing television ("seeing by wireless" as he described it). —Compiled [1] [2] [3]

  The romantic Lovers' Seat was located near here but due to erosion only a stone is left in its place.

  This is two Handley Page Hastings, the identifiable one is WD481 with its Transport Command callsign painted quite visible on the fuselage. Seen here in service with No 48 Sq ca mid 1960s or so. Unit was based at Changi, Singapore for many years, but this looks rather like somewhere in the Middle East. To the right is a Gloster Javelin Unfortunately I don't have WD481's AM78 card Stig
