This description of properties is from an insolvency account Cape Town 1860-64. "House and premises Loop St Blok 1 8 & 9 marked 98 17 sq rd,83 Sq ft,96 sq inches." "3 lots 9.10.11 of divided estate The Grove situated Buitenkant. 44 Sq rd 76 sq ft." "Freehold land between the Grove and a new Street joining Hope street in the Buitenkant 12 Sq rd" "Amendelboom, Sutherland." Could someone please tell me:- 1. Loop street still exists (or did in the 1930s) Does the Blok1 and those numbers give any clue about just where this proerty might be in today's map? 2.What and where was "The Grove" 3. Was Buitenkant then a 'suburb' ? I recall a Buitenkant street. 4. I cannot for the life of me remember my area tables (never could) the Sq roods etc.. .Approximately what size in today's terms. 5. And where is Amandelboom and Sutherland (there is a feint word Rogger? between these two names.) I realise that over 150 years Cape Town may have changed a bit, but a rough idea will help me fix the place! Many thanks Pat
