Verlorenvlei Farm | ??? | ??? | The Verlorenvlei settlement is regarded as a unique remnant of a particular way of life with a distinctive architectural style which has developed from the first permanent buildings which were erected in the late 18th Century.The settlement has architectural, archaeological, historic and ecological significance and is a declared RAMSAR site. | Chris Snelling | 150x150px |
Cape Recife Lighthouse | Port Elizabeth | Coordinates | As early as 1835, the need was discussed for some sort of warning to protect ships from the shallow reefs at CapeRecife, which marks the end point of Algoa Bay. A beacon was erected there until a lighthouse could be built. In 1851 a 24 m high octagonal masonry tower was built under supervision of GW Pilkington. This lighthouse predates that on the Donkin, which was built in 1861. | Sue Hoppe | |
Blue Peter Hotel | Cape Town | Coordinates | The Blue Peter Hotel in Bloubergstrand is one of the oldest sites in the area. It dates back to the late 19th century where it first started out as a tearoom by George Henry Stevenson and his wife Fanali. It was later transformed in to a boarding house and in 1949 it was purchased by a Polish couple who converted it into one of Cape Towns finest dining establishments with an extensive seafood menu and nautical feel. The figurehead from Lord Nelson's ship was found on the beach close to the hotel in 1945 and was put on display for all to see. Today the Blue Peter hotel remains as a reminder of how the area of Blaauwberg started out, as a little seaside villlage. | User:Aliyahreflections | |
