Traffic Hotel, Drummond, Natal Province, South Africa - Circa 1920s: This evocative photograph captures the Traffic Hotel in Drummond, Natal Province, South Africa, during the 1920s. The Traffic Hotel, with its distinctive architecture and grandeur, stands proudly against the backdrop of the rolling hills and lush greenery of the region. The altitude of the location is noted on the sign, indicating the cooler climate that drew visitors to this area. The photograph is an intriguing snapshot of a bygone era, with the distances to nearby towns Pietermaritzburg and Durban written on the bottom of the image. Pietermaritzburg, the capital city of KwaZulu-Natal, is located approximately 45 miles to the north, while Durban, the largest city in the province, is about 60 miles to the east. The Traffic Hotel, with its impressive design and welcoming atmosphere, would have been a popular stopover for travelers making their way between these two bustling towns. The hotel's name is not mentioned on the sign, but its presence is evident in the image, with the cars parked outside and the people milling about. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history of South Africa during the 1920s, a time of growth and development in the country. The Traffic Hotel in Drummond stands as a testament to the rich heritage of the region and the spirit of adventure that drew travelers to explore its beauty.
