Durban Town Hall

I really love this building. Now used as the post office building, was originally the Durban Town hall. Fact : The old building is perhaps remembered for the speech that war correspondent Winston Churchill gave from its steps after escaping from a Boer POW camp in Pretoria during the second Boer War
Also it occasionally goes out of time.

  2. I was just popping in to ask if you'd met Stuart and joined the D'Urban Sketchers - I see he got here first, hope you've managed to get together! Durban has such beautiful buildings - this is lovely Rhett!
