Items related to Prince Albert: Sense of History, Sense of Place
An album celebrating a Karoo town which has evolved from a loan farm granted in 1762 into the vibrant town it is today. The town's character can be attributed to the natural setting at the foot of the Swartberg mountain range from where the town's agricultural life derives its lifegiving water. Also, good soils, the geographical location, and the town's place in the social history of the region has added a rich patina of time and sense of place. The town's architectural legacy is rich with vernacular styles from the flat-roofed Karoostyle to the high Victorian. Today the town's cultural landscape contributes to a much sought after modern lifestyle for those who want to experience village life.
