Brookes Hill in Humewood is one of the very upmarket and sought after areas on the Port Elizabeth beachfront and offers residents and guests a fantastic view of Kings Beach and the coastline. The white buildings on the right are the very larney Kings Terrace apartments. The building in the middle of the pic is the newly refurbished and upgraded Brookes-on-the-Bay (previously Brookes Hill Pavilion) with the Brookes Hill Suites Hotel to the left of it. Brookes-on-the-Bay recently opened again to the public with Ocean Basket and Primi Piatti being the first two new tenants already trading in the centre.
My Nana used to live on Brookes Hill in a tiny little bungalow, back in the day...
ReplyDeleteI hope this isn'tone of your 'winter' photo's again! great shot! ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat an unusual angle! My parents NEARLY bought a place in King's Terrace - Man I was upset when they didn't LOL! Must go and see Brookes-On-The-Bay next time I am in town - my memories of Brookes Hill all involve Tequila Sunrise, Bourbon Street and the bar downstairs that used to have deck parties - name escapes me now. I blame the booze ;o)
ReplyDeleteTobey Joe's! LOL
ReplyDelete@Diane - So did mine! My Mom also grew up there - until the demolished them (In the late 80's i think?). Been trying to find some photos of them online, but had no luck.
