St Peters

I recently started Geocaching, so you may just hear me mention it every now and then as it gets me to be out and about a bit more than usual.  One of the places I found a cache was at the St Peters Church ruins in South End.  The church was opened in 1877.  After the people of the area were removed due to the Group areas Act in the late 1960's the church was demolished to stop the congregation coming back there on Sundays for church services.

  1. OMW Why would anyone want to stop a loyal congregation coming back to worship? Misguided and cruel times... I will follow your Geocaching with interest as I've only heard of it before. Now I may learn what it is! Hope you're having a great weekend. Greetings from Jo, Tanzania.
