DIRECTIONS
The Nottingham Road hotel is situated 8km down the Nottingham Road turnoff from the N3 Highway. Coming from Durban or Johannesburg we are in the heart of the Midlands Meander, with some of the popular Meander attractions on our doorstep, such as the Nottingham Road Brewery Company. The beautiful Kamberg and Sani Pass are also a stones throw away.
HISTORY OF THE HOTEL
The popular Notties Hotel celebrated its centenary anniversary a few years ago, securing its place solidly in the history books as one of the Midlands’ most popular hotels.
Legend has it that there has been an inn situated here since 1854. While the actual building we know today is not as old, there could certainly have been on this site a “Notties” inn or a tavern for the soldiers stationed at Fort Nottingham, who were supposed to protect the area from Bushmen who were stealing local livestock. Situated at the crossroads where the road to the interior met the road to Fort Nottingham, it would have served the horse-drawn coaches that travelled the area before the railway line was constructed.
The first recorded facts about the hotel we know today indicate that the land for the Notties Hotel was bought by George Orwin in 1889, following the death of landowner James Ellis and his sister Janet King, the land being sold by the family to pay off the siblings’ estates. The price received for the land, the princely sum of 125 pounds per acre, was extremely high for the time. Presumably it was the favourable location that drove the price so high.
Orwin erected the Railway Hotel, as it was first named, to serve the station that was built at the tiny Nottingham Road settlement. Local farmer and settler Charles Smythe writes in his diary, “July 12th, 1882: The railway has at last commenced, and there is a large staff of men on Gowrie busy putting up buildings and beginning the earthworks. The station is to be just at the crossing of the road to Fort Nottingham, about two miles from Strathearn. The railway line finally reached Nottingham Road at the end of 1885, eventually changing its name from “Karkloof Station” to “Nottingham Road Station” in 1887.
The railway changed the lives of the Midlands’ settlers forever. There was a daily postal system, and almost anything they needed could now be ordered from Durban or Pietermaritzburg. Produce from the area could be quickly sent to the city centres for sale, and travel between the coast and the interior was a matter of hours rather than weeks or days. The railway also led to the development of the Midlands as a viable area for settlement.
The Nottingham Road Farmers Association was formed in October 1887, in what was known as The Railway Hotel, where the present Notties Hotel is today. The hotel soon became the centre of social activity for the area, which became increasingly popular as a holiday destination, with its fresh, cool air and lovely countryside.
The so-called Railway Hotel, built by a Mr C Morgan, was completed at the beginning of 1891, and soon became the centre of social activity at Nottingham Road. A gracious, two-storey building set in rolling lawns, the hotel offered guests the comforts of proper lighting (using acetylene gas), tennis courts and a billiards room, as well as activities such as shooting and horse riding. At the turn of the century, the Singleton family took over the running of the hotel.
The Nottingham Road Hotel was always the local’s favourite haunt, whether for a social drink in the pub or for supposedly more serious matters such as meetings of the Nottingham Road Farmers’ Association. Apparently the farmers often only arrived home safely because their faithful horses knew the way back to their stables! The system worked smoothly until a prankster swopped the horses between the different traps and carts, so that drink-befuddled farmers were taken off in completely the wrong direction! Often the locals would decide to stay over at the hotel, especially if the weather was bad
One farmer, Christopher Groom, trying to reach the hotel to shelter from a storm, was unable to reach the hotel in time and was struck by a bolt of lightning just outside (where the first tennis courts were located). He and his dead horse were discovered some time later when the storm had passed over, the unconscious man quite unaware of his narrow escape. A hole straight through his saddle showed where the bolt of lightning had struck.
Like all hotels with a history, Notties Hotel is reputed to be haunted. In the past, guests and staff have reported that the spirit of a woman roams the hotel (especially room 10) and its grounds. This house-proud, gentle ghost apparently moves flower arrangements, tidies away clothes and straightens bedding. Legend has it that she is‘Charlotte’, a lady of loose morals or a chamber maid depending on the source of the tale, who apparently threw herself to her death.

If you want to make your garden a special highlight and create a playful or perhaps dreamy romantic atmosphere, you have an almost endless variety of possibilities open. Depending on which area in the garden you want to illuminate, you can use different types of lights. The wall lights, for example, serve not only the basic lighting around the house, but also create great lighting accents on the walls. The current garden design trends score not only with a pleasant light in the evening or at night, but also look excellent in a switched off state.

The product of Stellenbosch municipality inaction and exploitation of poor parents
The product of Stellenbosch municipality inaction and exploitation of poor parents
In July 2011 an illegal nursery school / crèche Little Flowers Creche started operating at 56 Rustenburg Road, Ida's Valley (the property next to ours). The property is not zoned for a nursery school to operate there, nor are the facilities adequate according to minimum standards stipulated by the Western Cape Provincial Government. The video clearly shows just how unsafe this facility is, particularly when the teacher is unaware of what constitutes a safe environment for children.
We brought the existence of this illegal nursery school to the attention of Stellenbosch's Department of Planning and Development (headed by Mr Basil Davidson) in July 2011. Their view seems to be that the copious amounts of photographic evidence we have presented of zoning violations and unsafe conditions for children are insufficient to pursue the matter any further (their department wants an affidavit from us stating why we object to the school despite it being blatantly illegally zoned and unsafe).
The Cape Winelands Department of Social Development was also alerted to the existence of their nursery school in September 2011. They submitted a report to the Provincial Department of Social Development presenting the school in a positive light, which is strange considering that in March 2012 there are a number of inadequacies which the school's owner has not addressed since then.
Stellenbosch's Department of Planning and Development have passively discouraged us from getting justice for ourselves (loud children being shouted at constantly by a loud teacher is unpleasant to say the least) and these poor children, who are financially forced to leave their children in this unsafe environment. Their passive discouragement has come in various forms: ignoring us, responding weeks or months late to emails and complaints and telling us that the court roll is too full for them to consider prosecution.
What is especially discouraging about this is that the Eikestad recently carried a story which recounted how the Department had secured justice in court for a group of residents in an upper class neighbourhood who were bothered by a zoning violation which they reported long after we had laid our formal complaint and presented evidence of wrongdoing.
Our questions are: why is justice swift for some and unattainable for others in Stellenbosch? Why are there no punitive steps being taken for blatantly illegal action?
Netherwood - Exclusive Wedding Venue - in the KZN Midlands Meander
Netherwood is a contemporary wedding venue located on a working angus stud farm in Nottingham Road in the KwaZulu Natal Midlands.
The design and layout was focussed around keeping the structures as quiet as possible - to allow the natural beauty of the surrounding area to speak for itself. Glass, steel and natural stone form the shell - with details in vintage sleepers. Both the Chapel and the Venue have frameless glass stacking doors that allow the outdoors to pour in, and opens up the structures to 360 degree views of the peaceful surroundings.
With sweeping views of the surrounding farm valleys, dams and across to the Drakensberg, Netherwood offers a unique combination of contemporary design, in the countryside.

Quorn & Woodhouse Station Bus & Train Spectacular 2019
The 6th Leicester Heritage Transport Trusts running day held in association with The Great Central Railway is featured in this action packed film with vintage buses and trains in operation from Quorn and Woodhouse Station.
Frequent bus trips ran around the local Charnwood area and to Loughborough Great Central Railway where there were opportunities to take a train journey back. The action begins with many of the buses including 40, 90 and 301 on Woodhouse Road on their way to the event. Some of the buses including 40 and 50 can be seen in service in the centre of Loughborough and at the Loughborough Midland Station. The action switches back to Quorn station with many buses departing and arriving back from trips. A Leyland Tiger Cub from Delaine is shown running to Barrow with a completely full load before from 12.56 onwards some of the buses are seen leaving along with some of the later trips. Look out at 13.26 for a superb 5 bus sequence involving 164, RCT3, 301 and others.
It was fantastic to see a huge variety of buses at the event which was very well attended in spite of the very cold conditions. Thankfully the heavy rain did not materialise.
