We thought you would enjoy these recent views of Sandstone taken during an evening walk.
There are times when the Sandstone Heritage Collection turns up an item that was placed in storage many years ago and inadvertently forgotten! Recently a visitor to Sandstone was being shown around the shed containing our unrestored 2ft gauge locomotives and rolling stock when they came across an open “B” wagon containing a large amount of machinery, some large, and some small, but obviously one machine.
After our Easter Steam and Cosmos Festival, in April 2023, a film crew moved in to Sandstone to shoot some sequences for an upcoming “Bollywood” movie. The crew were on site during the Festival and were keen to have some practice and we arranged an impromptu parade of the Sandstone Heritage collection and visiting aircraft for a short sequence including the horses and riders to be used in the film. The video is short but visually exciting.
A short note from some visitors who enjoyed Sandstone, we are so pleased to receive such positive comments and we hope that all our visitors feel the same.
It seems that Santa has come early this year with the news that the R26 road from Bethlehem to Ficksburg is finally being repaired. The work being undertaken is resurfacing and not just filling the holes as in the past. The very bad section between Fouriesburg and Sandstone is being worked on. Our thanks to Ionia Cherry Farm for the initial information.
From all of us at Sandstone, may we wish you all an enjoyable Christmas and a prosperous 2024.
Sandstone has some of the best light for photography in South Africa so please enjoy two views of a Sandstone dawn.
