BULAWAYO RHODESIA HISTORY 1900s Old Colonial Colony NEW Photographs Empire

In typical Stenlake old towns format, combining historic photographs with potted history and lengthy informative captions, is this latest title on Bulawayo, the second largest city in Zimbawe (the former Southern Rhodesia). Although founded as recently as 1894, a large number of the original buildings have since been demolished. The early shops, offices and houses illustrated here were made of wood or metal sheeting or local bricks. Also shown are examples of the next phase of slightly more substantial structures. A street map is included to help the reader pinpoint the locations of the photos included.
