Mark Hilltout

The official Woodstock Windsocks are the colour-draped washing lines that adorn the terraces.
Typically on the front porch, baring all. Adding even more colour to the district.
The Altona Hotel. The Grand
Old Lady of Woodstock. Erected
in 1909, it originally served as
a club and refreshment station
for Cape Flats farmers wending
their way home from the
early morning
market.
33
Delos. At 181 Albert Road. For antique chandeliers, reproduction lighting,
and furniture for private homes, businesses and hotels. If you see a chandelier
being trolleyed along a street, you know you’re
close to the Delos showroom. Restoring and
recycling relics from around the globe is
what they do, brilliantly.
5
Crespella Café Creperie. Intimate and
simple, with a mouth-watering array of crepes,
and good coffee, beautifully executed.
8
Ruth Prowse School of Art.
Now a national monument, this
building formed a part of the site of one of the first
European farms in the area originally known as
Rooibloem, later as Roodebloem (c.1700). Named for
Ruth Prowse, art doyen, and now the alma mater of
many fine fine artists.
13
7
Exposure Gallery. Artists, Art,
Lomography and Photography showcase.
A clever and popular little shop, packed
full of contemporary crafts and gifts.
A gardening
project that
has blossomed
into a beautiful
way to green
and smarten
up the streets
of Observatory.
Palm Tree, walled. Ask the average Capetonian how
many palm trees there are in Woodstock. Fifteen?
Forty? At last count, 672.
A veritable oasis. By the way, there
are also 18 parks in Woodstock,
Salt River and Observatory.

Lower Main Road,

lovely sounds here.
Salt Circle Arcade. A Boutique Mall just across the road from the Old Biscuit Mill. Ma Mère Maison makes licking-good sweets in the traditional way.

famous meet-and-eatery
in Woodstock. Try the
excellent All Day Breakfast
Sandwich, the Pork Belly,
salads, the cakes. Great

Trafalgar Park. 1905.
Trafalgar Park is the site of the ‘French
Redoubt’, a fort with cannon built by
a French garrison in 1781 to keep the
English out. Nice try. Contains avenues
of ancient ficus trees and an Olympic-size
swimming pool, for good measure.

“Despite what they say
graffiti is not the lowest form
of art. Although you might have
to creep about at night and lie to
your mum it’s actually one of the more
honest art forms available. There is no
elitism or hype, it exhibits on the best walls a
town has to offer and nobody is put off by the
price of admission.”
– Banksy

It contains the workshop of Mark Hilltout, a metal designer who upcycles old rusted, unwanted corrugated iron.

The Kitchen. 10 The Deli. Two popular, buzzy lunchtime eateries on Sir Lowry Road. In 2011, Michelle Obama
famously visited The Kitchen and sampled the Koshieri
Rice Pilaf, Aubergine Ratatouille, Beetroot, Chopped
Turkish Salad, Falafel and Hummus.
Horse and Cart. Supermarket Trolley. The old and the
new way of keeping the neighbourhood clean.
Trolleys are everywhere and nothing of value
is ever left behind.

Cape Bag Depot. 1935. 177 Albert Rd. It’s an institution, like an old favourite restaurant,
full of colour and history. For bags, canvas, mats, rope, tarpaulin and twines, at extremely
competitive prices. And the palm tree squashed against the front wall shades nothing.

Trafalgar Buildings. In 1937
Gerhardt Van Kalker began a
career which established him as
Cape Town’s pre-eminent family
and portrait photographer.
His studio was in the Trafalgar
Buildings, at 47, Victoria Road.
Intricate facades
abound on every
street, dating back to
the late 19th century. More and more
are being restored to life, to be cherished
once again.
The Palms. Originally the site of one of Cape Town’s earliest
bakeries, where Baumann’s Biscuits and Duens Bread were
made. it’s now a well-established shopping centre for
a variety of famous decor and lifestyle stores.
And there’s the food, art, fashion and
furniture. Lock Stock Market on
Saturday mornings, too.
