Sandy is this the old building, I remember it being a manor type house, that was a dairy farm back in about 1940. The one I'm thinking of is on your right to-wards the mountain in University Estate.Does Roedebloem road continue on the other side of the Eastern Boulevard? I don't remember.
O.P.S -1969, Springfield Convent -1970, Holy Cross Convent-1972., Centaurus-1974

Hi Sandy,
             My recall of Woodstock and environs before the Eastern Boulevard was built is vague at best. But I would like to see those pics.
Regards,
Bob.

As a child I was always fasinated by this beautifull house. I remember my Ouma and I would wait for the Walmer Estate Bus at the bus stop just outside the grounds and I would imagine being a Princess and living there.   Please post a photo or two of before and after if you can.

 I  have been  reminded   to heed  my conscience  , upbringing  and background  ... when I  posted  some  words  on this topic  ( that  yes  the  good  angel on the one  shoulder  said " dont " )  I persisted  .. to  say  that  I  was doing so out of  anger and  frustration  at  how  corruption  seems to win  so many times  over  sounds  a  fine  excuse  but actually not , especially  when  one is aware  of ones actions ..  so  I have  cleaned  up this  topic and  offer  apology ....

good  news  I got a phone call from  a  councillors  pa ... they definitely thik its worth  looking into  cos  unless a building of  historical  significance  is  a wreck   it  should be left as intact  as possible ..  problem is time for a site visit , I explained that  time  is of the essence ,,  they must show the pictures to  the heritage folk ... and  move fast ... hope somethings moving  although  I feel  a bit  too late ,,,  at least they will be brougth  to task and  stopped  till they take  remedial action ...
