had a look on my wallmap, it is between Christiana and Bloemhof. I suppose she lived previously at Britten but now she is in Klerksdorp, not that the name of the place changed, even though I first thought that was the meaning of the words. I see on NAAIRS there was a rail accident at Britten in the 1930's. Wonder what happened?
