Over my life of 72 years, I have witnessed this building slowly crumble and fade away. Now little more than a pile of bricks, my memory was pricked after 40 years after relocation to Joburg when a Mrs. Charlotte Brunette surprised me with a photo of an oil painting of this building. Now yet another piece of the giant PE puzzle has found its niche in the mosaic.

Main picture: Church on Kragga Kamma-AI Enhanced

This building was originally built as a church circa 1877 on Flanagan’s property on Kragga Kamma Road. Later it was used as a school and finally ended its career as a storage area for Flanagan’s motor bikes as well as feed. Finally there was a fire, and then it slowly started to demolish itself! Now only a few bits of wall are standing.

 The painter of this oil picture is Stewart Titcombe who painted it in 1955.
