Description
-
Seized by the tree it watered : this curiosity of the public gardens (it may be seated in reply to F.S., Firmount-Road, Sea Point) dates from pre-1850 days, when there were a number of wells in the Gardens. When a proper water service was laid on, these wells were abandoned and filled in. This pump, which bears the date 1842 embossed on it, was at the head of one of these wells. It was absorbed and lifted nearly five feet from the ground by the maturing oak to which it was probably originally attached.

For the golf nut? This house at 4 Links Road, Pinelands, overlooks the 15th hole on the Mowbray Golf Course which Gary Player describes as one of the most beautiful in the world. It is selling at R49 000, having dropped from R70 000. Our Golf Correspondent observes there is too much weight on the right foot, too much swing in the shoulders, and a classic case of head up.
