Campbell Road - Classic Parktown with a twist

ABOUT

Boasting three Herbert Baker homes, a fine Robert Howden (recently restored) and several other special architectural works, Campbell Road is a Parktown Treasure Trove. 

Join your guides Karen Curry and Charlotte Beukes for a lovely walk along this historical thoroughfare (with a detour onto Gale Road). Along the way, you’ll meet a founder of the Black Sash, a High Court judge with strong socialist sympathies, and the lady who invented the idea of computer bookings. 

The tour also includes a visit to Bishopskop, a very fine Herbert Baker design from 1903. It was built for Archdeacon Furse, the Bishop of Pretoria, before Johannesburg was big enough to warrant a diocese of its own.

This is classic Parktown at its best, so don’t miss out.

Please wear comfortable walking shoes and bring along a sunhat, sunblock and drinking water. The meeting point is corner Campbell Road and Barkly Road, Parktown.
