Durban - The old picture this week comes from a postcard of Scott Street, the main street in Scottburgh on KZN’s South coast. It is unclear when the picture was taken, but probably in the 1940s.

The town developed during the early 1800s as adventurous souls drifted down from Durban, exploring both the coastline and hinterland. When it was discovered that Natal had the ideal climate for growing sugar cane, plantations were developed and the area was gradually populated. One major influx was a contingent of Byrne Settlers who arrived via Durban in 1850 from Liverpool. Among them came the Crookes brothers, Charles and Samuel, whose progeny remain local ‘sugar barons’ to this day.
