150 Year Anniversary for St Georges Park
My friend Alan, who is probably one of the most passionate Port Elizabethans, has had his nose in the books and discovered that our magnificent St Georges Park celebrates 150 years of existence on the 6th August 2011.
He has also posed a question viz. how do we celebrate this historical milestone?
I wonder what ideas might be generated by interested people as to how we should suitably commemorate this momentous occasion. For more information view the article on MyPE.
I am having great fun reading Port Elizabeth in Bygone Days written by JJ Redgrave and published in 1947.
As fortune would have it I came across an entry on page 283 detailing the opening ceremony of St Georges Park on 6 August 1861. 6 August used to be marked as Prince Alfred’s Day.
Read more about St Georges Park on the excellent St Georges Park History Web Site by Debbie Derry and Ivor Markman.
Tell us what you think WE SHOULD DO to mark the 150th Anniversary of the opening of St Georges Park in this forum topic: St Georges Park’s 150th Anniversary.
