I’m currently busy with a possible publication of my novel that deals with Queenstown and Grahamstown. I am hoping to source an old map of Queenstown pre-1940. Can anyone from the community assist?

I lived in Queenstown until 1963 – was born there. I was Claerwen Matthews and my mother & father ran a girls’ hostel called Roseneath for many years. I went to GHS and my mom, Nancy Matthews, was a much admired kindergarten teacher. My uncle and aunt were Albert and Dorothy Crouch. So I’ve deep historical roots in Queenstown.

Thank you in advance - Claerwen Howie - howsmall@iafrica.com
