THE SILVERMINE – OUR SPECIAL HERITAGE
An Illustrated Presentation on the Natural and Cultural Heritage between Peers Hill and the Sea
by Lewis Walter
Fish Hoek Valley Historical Association is hosting an illustrated presentation by Lewis Walter on the natural and cultural heritage between Peers Hill and the Sea.
Lewis has a knack for finding the unusual and will be showing off a clay pipe that he found when the wetlands were being cleared. An expert in England has since said that it was made in Gouda, Holland, and can be accurately dated by the maker’s mark to between 1734 and 1740. It must be one of the oldest artifacts from the Dutch period to be found in the valley!
