- Description
- Two photographs stuck on card, of: (a) View of High Street, Grahamstown, showing the Cathedral of St Michael and St George with the spire, completed in 1878. The Settlers Memorial Tower, completed in 1870, can be seen to the left. (b) View of the intersection of Worcester and Somerset Streets, Grahamstown, with a Victorian fluted pillar box ca. 1859-60 in the foreground, reputed to be the oldest official letter box in South Africa. The house of the Headmaster of St Andrew's College is visible behind it, with Christchurch, built in 1876, in the distance. The latter photograph was taken by Aldham and Aldham, photographers active in Grahamstown from1879-1905.
