Touches of hidden history scattered throughout the complex are set against quirky modern touches. Bricks from the original buildings are featured on the walls: some of them have the words “Est 1896” written on them while others feature the complex’s “re-established” date. Giant clothes pegs are dotted around the space, both for décor and as fun-seating.
“What we’re looking at now is to create a pop up where young artisans come in every six months to a year.” At the moment it houses Six Kings, a hip Pretoria-born hand-made leather shoe company. “That’s where the donkeys were tied up.” Also a heritage point, the tree bears burn marks. “People tried burning it down,” Strassen adds.
