In 2016, we published a presentation on Henry Dryerre, who was a dispensing chemist in the early part of the 20th century and had a business located in Bonnyrigg High Street.
We described him then as a local worthie, but he was really much more than this, something of an entrepreneur and certainly a very talented gentleman.
Recently, one of our members, Professor Jim Murray, has completed some further research into Henry Dryerre’s life revealing that in his later life, Henry Dryerre had a very accomplished academic career.
A presentation called ” Henry Dryerre: Part 2″, is now available to view in our Archive section.
