Hi Viv,

I made a turn there last year about June, looking for my Grandparents
graves, and found it quite overgrown and full of rubbish blown in from
the nearby sqattercamp, [ sqattercamp is down towards Cato manor ] I
did complain to the Indian at the Office, so maybe after many a
complaint like mine, the Dbn. Municipality, finally did a clean up.

The Cemetery that you are talking about is the original Durban
Cemetery, it is in the block between West Street & Pine Street, bound
on the east side by Russell Street and on the west by Brook & Theater,
and is known as West Street Cemetery.

Regards,
Bernie.
