Old Photo Wednesday (on a Thursday): Bygone Cape Town

I came across a most awesome Flickr stream yesterday put together and curated by a man called Etienne du Plessis. The stream goes by the name of Bygone Cape Town and consists of a fantastic array of vintage photos taken around the Mother City in decades gone by.

In the blurb of the stream Etienne explains his collection as follows: “A while ago I looked for some sixties and seventies photos of Cape Town on the Net. To my amazement I could not readily find any.

Having spent some of my most memorable times in the Mother city, I undertook to do something about it, and what you see here is part of an ongoing project to share some of the images of bygone Cape Town.”

Cool, hey?

And so, with no further blabbing away, I present to you a mere handful of the treasure… Follow this link to check out the rest.
