Newtown Junction History
Past meets present at Newtown Junction
Drive south over the Nelson Mandela Bridge into Johannesburg, turn right and you find yourself in Newtown, an area steeped in history but now also the brand-new home of Atterbury Property and Attacq’s Newtown Junction development.
A century ago this is where the community of Brickfields was forcibly removed after the reported outbreak of the plague, and the area was then burnt to stop any spread of the disease. Newtown was born out of the ashes, including a marketplace, and eventually, in the early 2000s it was declared a heritage district. The heritage label brought with it very specific building restrictions, which has slowed down modernisation.
Atterbury’s heritage challenge included preserving certain historical structures, including the Potato Sheds that were part of the city’s first produce market, and the market’s Edwardian-era public men’s room. There was also a railway line that ran into the marketplace alongside the Sheds, and two pedestrian bridges over the railway line which had to be preserved and incorporated into the mall’s design.
