Title: Old police station, Cape Town
Subject: Western Cape (South Africa), Rondebosch (Cape Town, South Africa), Suburbs, Landmarks, Monuments, Historic buildings
Description: One of the oldest buildings in Rondebosch - which has served as a police station for more than 70 years - is up for auction shortly. Built around 1880, it was originally a labourer's cottage on the old Rozendaal wine estate, and later another storey was added. The building has served as a police station since 1906 and represents the last of the old "cottage" police stations so prevalent in the Peninsula until recent years. For this reason representations have been made to the Public Works Department and National Monuments Council in order to get something done to preserve the building - but so far without success.

Subject: Constantia (Cape Town South Africa), Church buildings, Historic buildings, Architecture, Christianity
Description: Christ Church (Constantia) - When church bells ring out over the vineyards of Constantia there need be little doubt that the sound comes from Christ Church, the picturesque place of worship which has served the surrounding community for nearly 90 years, for it is the only church in the valley. Built in a corner of the Silverhurst estate in 1895, Christ Church, Constantia, has the picturesque qualities of an old church in the English countryside. Its walls are of rough stone and it stands in the shelter of a grove of pine trees.

Title: Anglican church of St Mary, The Virgin, Woodstock, Cape Town, 1984
Subject: Woodstock (Cape Town, South Africa), Church buildings, Historic buildings, Architecture, Christianity
Description: I had the pleasure of seeing an interesting film at the BP Cinema on the restoration of ancient castles, abbeys and palatial homes in Britain. Restoration is not the correct description of what is being done, for the workmanship being carried out in some cases is a matter of survival of historic ruins. The complete restoration is beyond the realms of possibility in the present depressed economic situation. There came to mind a beautiful little stone church in Lower Main Road, Woodstock, which is in need of tender loving care. The dressed stone of the outside walls is black with the accumulated grime of car exhaust fumes and the smoke of many steam trains over the years. As a Christmas gesture, could not the citizens of Cape Town contribute towards the cleaning of these walls and thus earn the gratitude of the rector and his parish? I , for one, would be happy to make a donation.
