Bo-Kaap Market site delivers surprise
Plainsman
|June 11, 2025
In the course of the Bo-Kaap Market site upgrade, the City's contractor uncovered a stone well associated with Spolander House, a national heritage site on the corner of Yusuf Drive and Pentz Street.
-
The well is probably more than 150 years old. The land surrounding Spolander House, on which the well was found, is protected as a provincial heritage site.
Construction was stopped immediately, and officials from Heritage Western Cape were notified. Following careful inspection, the well and surrounding areas were secured so that the upgrade to the Bo-Kaap Market site could continue.
