IT’S a vintage building with more than a dose of history and character and a recent visit to the premises now known as Casterton Farm Supplies, has brought to light some brilliant memories of Number One, Henty Street, Casterton.

Laird McAllister is the son of Murray McAllister, who built the existing premises at the entrance to Casterton’s main street and ran it as McAllister Motors.
