The P.E. Concentration camp is not so easy to find, as very few people today know about its location. The Monument is hardly visible from the roadside, tugged away after the vibrocrete wall. To add to confusion, the entrance to the Mount Road Police Station today is in Lennox Street. The sports field is just opposite the charge office entrance. Name changing has taken place a few times. Before it used to be called John Browns Dam. It was also called Old Grey Sports ground and South African Police Sports Ground. Today it is also referred to as Freedom Park. This is where the tents used to be. John Browns Dam was not a built dam, but was so called because water accumulated there after rains. If you do not know about the concentration camp, you will not notice the monument.!!! In the early years, the whole area where the Green Acres Shopping Centre as well as part of the Town House complex are today, used to be the Race Course. Hence the name around the shopping centre is still bearing today....Ring Road and Ascot Road, as the horse racing took place around the ring. The area is slightly raised from the old tent area to the top. The Collegiate Girls School used to be situated off Whites Road. In later years it was rebuilt very close to the Green Acres Area. The nurses used to work at the Provincial Hospital, (which was originally situated on the Hill), but was educated at the Sharley Cribb Institution, close to St Georges Park. I shall only be able to go and take a photo for you after the middle of October, if you have patience till then. Hopefully someone can do it for you before then. Let me know if someone does it for you. Good luck.

Hi All. Is there anyone who can let us know where the nurses were trained in Port Elizabeth before Sharley Cribb, which I saw after sending my e-mail only started in 1949 as a nurses training college, although the building was built in 1897 as a private house. Sorry about that, but so we learn by helping others. Ask aunty Google on “Sharley cribb” for more info on Sharley Cribb. There is an Addington Hospital in Durban. My eldest was born there. Thank you very much. Trudie Marais
