The best view point in Uitenhage is probably Cannon Hill with view both to the south and east. The park on Cannon Hill has to coronation memorials, one for Queen Elizabeth II and one for King George V. There is also a cannon on the hill pointing south and this along with the name makes me think that the hill was used as a lookout and potential defense point for the town at some stage in its history.
Nice cannon.
ReplyDeleteSome TLC by local historians could have this cannon become distinguished again.
