Hennie, Nice snaps, I agree with the first pic, flatbed rail car..... one can still see the coupling link!

LOve the 3 plant jetty pics.....

It's amazing to see how far out it actually went, I think the beach is almost at the sea end now....

Amazing pictures. If they could talk... what great stories they would be able to tell of souls lost and battles fought...

a protected waterwell . The funnel thing on top was facing the prevailing south wersterly wind , The 250 mm galvenised pipe went down the shaft to ventilate the very deep shaft . One could go down the shaft with wooden ladders and a wooden landing every 4 meters or so.

Going In

are those the same two places, Hennie and Alfies place?

Mike Voden (RIP) · October 18, 2011, 05:02:17 PM

Yes Mike, both the same building. If I remember correctly, the well and buildings were off the road but towards the Chamais gate region. There was also a large stone built house close to the pump house and about two K's away, a wooden built house...........
