Old Photos of Cape Town Station

Post by Stefan Andrzejewski »

A while ago Etienne Du plessis was looking for photos of old Cape Town Station. The first is a photo of the entrance and clock. Apparently it was a great meeting place. The second is a painting by the famous Ruth Prowse of Old Cape Town Station from the Castle. I hope it's what you are looking for Etienne.Under the clock is the Class 23 model. You put a penny in the slot and the wheels rotate and the driver waves. This model is now in the George museum.
