Playne - One of the few fruit farms in bearing in the Protectorate, besides the adjacent Juja Farm, is the N'Gelani at Machakos owned by Mrs Langridge (nee Coldham). It has been in successful evidence for 20 years. Originally a Mission station it passed into Lord Delamere's hands in April 1908, and he sold it to Miss Coldham in the following month. It is situated in the highlands of BEA and on its cultivated 100 acres nearly all European fruits are grown with astonishing success. The orchards contain 7000 apple trees (of which 6000 are in bearing), oranges, lemons, tangerines, pineapples, plums, figs, apricots, guavas, quinces, pomegranates, vines etc. Miss Coldham was registered as an ostrich farmer in July 1908, and now possesses 49 birds, which are proving very successful. .......….

Miss Coldham married Mr Langridge of the Ridges Ostrich Farm, on August 24, 1908
