Pool by the beach

I think I remember this place before it got done up.

Indaba - Africa's Top Travel Show

Just a nice happy poster seen in Durban, thought I'd share!

View from a roof...Durbs or Lourenco Maques

Any idea where this is? Notice the half a sign on the right hand side that says "BA..." Also see the ship in the distance. Just found out this is probably in Lourenco Marques, which is now maputo, capital of Mosambique. The sign might be from the Hotel Polana.

Europeans Only

Well this isn't something you see today and hopefully never will - an Europeans only bench. This one was on the beach front in Durban and shot in the 60s.

Boats docked in Durban 1960s

An amazing shot, my guess is that it's somewhere off the Bluff.

Durban beach way way back many decades ago...

Durban beach in the early days.

Durban bay back in the day...

No idea when this was taken but I'm presuming it was in the 60s or 70s and some where off the coast of Durban.

Durban Girls Collage, Durban 73'

Durban Girls Collage, 1973, I'd be interested to hear what it's like today. Musgrave Road if I'm not mistaken.

Blockhouse, Bluff, Durban 1960's

Not so sure of the year but written on the back of this photo is "Blockhouse, Bluff knocked over in a storm."

1960's South African coast in a canoe

Somewhere off the coast of South Africa.

48 West Street, Durban, 1960's

This was one of a row of Victorian era terraced residential blocks near the South Beach end of West Street. Now no longer existent this one was number 48 West Street. West Street is now Dr. Pixley kaseme Street. Now this location lies between Dorothy Nyembe Street and Joe Slovo Street.

Mayfair Building Durban, 1960's

I can just make out the word Mayfair on the side of the tallest building. this photo was taken in the 60s as far as I know. Come on people and show an interest, correct the location of this shot for me.

Durban Rickshaw

One of Durban's symbols, the classic iconic rickshaw pulled along by traditionally dressed locals.

Gillespie Street Hairdresser, South Beach, Durban

Once a white area this multi-racial, men and women's hairdressing salon stands here now.

A continuation of the religious ceremony on the beach, everyone washing away their sins presumably - or the sticky Durban humidity.

West Street - Dr. Pixley Kaseme Street, Durban

Looking up from the beachfront towards the university on the hill all the way down West Street. West street too has a new name - Dr. Pixley Kaseme Street. I've read up about who these new names belong to but the truth is I never knew who West and Smith were either.

Smith Street - Anton Lembede Street, Durban

Looking down Smith Street (which I think is now called Anton Lembede Street) from South Beach. In fact the photo was probably taken from Gillespie Street. We stayed in this area and I had a bedroom looking over Tyzack Street. Tyzack Street was a little lane which we called Piss Street because the late night revelers would duck down here for a pee.

Praying on Durban Beach

This is a religious ceremony of some kind on North Beach.

Springfield Road, Durban

Taken from the top of Springfield Road loking over the city center.

Durbs by the sea...

This is a shot of the renewed beachfront, probably North Beach.
