EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1904, showcases the grandeur of the Royal Hotel in Kokstad, a historic town nestled in the Natal Province of South Africa. The image transports us back in time to the early 1900s, an era of exploration and growth in this beautiful African region. The Royal Hotel, with its impressive Victorian architecture, stands proudly at the heart of Kokstad's bustling town center. The two-story building, adorned with intricate woodwork and ornate details, exudes an air of elegance and sophistication. The lush, green trees lining the streets add a touch of natural beauty to the scene, providing a stark contrast to the red-roofed structures and whitewashed walls. The trees, which have grown tall and strong over the decades, offer a glimpse into the rich history of this South African town. Kokstad, founded in 1874, was once a major stop on the route between Durban and the diamond fields of Kimberley. The Royal Hotel, with its prime location, would have been a popular destination for weary travelers seeking rest and respite during their journey. As we gaze at this photograph, we can almost hear the sounds of horse hooves on the cobblestone streets and the chatter of locals and tourists alike. The Royal Hotel, with its warm welcome and inviting atmosphere, would have been a beacon of hospitality in the heart of Kokstad, a town that continues to captivate visitors with its unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty.
