HISTORY






























                       CORNWALL HILL BLOCKHOUSE

                                HIDDEN IN



                          PLAIN SIGHT










                It all started for me with a photocopy of a photograph showing the railway

                   bridge over the Hennops River at Irene; there were three blockhouses
                 alongside the railway bridge, on Aloe Koppie and on Cornwall Hill. I was

                             intrigued. Did traces of these blockhouses still exist?
