John, i confused myself taking these snaps..... I will return this week, took the wrong house, there is a wooden house on each side of 21-11th.... the colourful one being a church..... Interesting part of the towns history these house, I am surprised that the company does not earmark one for future tourism , kinda like what they did at Cullinan... ANyhow, here are a few snaps, I shall return./....

Yep! Yep! Alfie, you're right, those houses look the same to me, I was wondering where the braai went to around the back....

Looking at the photo's of the houses and streets realy takes me back and it feels like yesterday. I thought most of the houses are still looking pretty good.

Yes, indeed, it's mostly wine induced things that show age rapidly....

Those old wooden house are indeed a piece of history .. generous proportions .. nice huge windows .. one can see the old windows replaced by mean little ones ... in CT there stil a few . old victorian corrugated houses around in tamboerskloof area .. they are protected ..

Thanks so much for the pictures of E38-9th, Michael. They brought back lots of memories, and it is great to see that the house is still in good condition (unlike some other pics I've seen!). The big trees that we planted outside the front of our house are gone, and my sand-pit and the bougenvilla trellis, but the house and garden are as I remember it!

Mike I was looking at Oranjemund on Google Earth and it looks like my old house at 35-1st may have been leveled can you check that for me ,better still post a photo when you have time. Thanks. John.
