The collection contains an interesting selection of the original homesteads of the oldsettler’s families of the old White River Estates. This clump of thatched cottages androndawels was once the homestead of Captain Basil Turner and his wife Helen on the RidgeRoad near White RiverAnother homestead was this thatched and white washed home of the Cambus family. Itresembles an interesting mix between an old Transvaal farm house and a country croftsomewhere in rural England.

Carl R Anhaeusser Professor Emeritus,School of Geosciences, Wits:Thank you for providing me with a complimentary copy of your Cockney Liz book. I have followed yourhistorical accounts of things that happened in the Barberton area over the years gone by with greatinterest. It is great having someone like you keeping us abreast of the colorful history of the Barbertondistrict.I started my geological research in the Low's Creek area when I was an MSc student way back in 1962working on the old Lily gold mine. I subsequently went on to complete my PhD in 1969 in the Sheba HillsJamestown area and got familiar with many of the old mines and prospects in the area and learnt of thecolorful historical aspects of the regions I mapped. I have subsequently been involved in geologicalresearch in many parts of the Barberton greenstone belt and still have a few projects I hope to wrap up inthe next few years. I often stayed in the old Impala hotel where I believe Cockney Liz spent part of hertime. So I am looking forward to reading more about her and her exploits.From the Heritage Desk:A conducted tour by Prof. Carl R Anhaeusser of the Sheba area andthe remains of it mines will indeed make for a highly interestingouting. Can this be arranged?New MembersLeigh & Iain Kay write:Wow!! What a great day. (Verlorenkloof)We really enjoyed it.
