Nkana-Kitwe Photographs

From Great North Road


Pictures of Kitwe taken on a Sunday early November, possibly Remembrance Sunday 1970.


Contributed by David Howell


After seeing those pics of towns "south" of us I thought I'd send a few of Kitwe and surrounds that could bring back good old memories!

There is one of me up to my knees in the Kafue just below Rhodwins (we really took some chances didn't we - everytime I see a documentary on the Discovery Channel showing crocs I shudder to think what might have happened).

There are four pictures showing Standard Bank, Bennetts Chemist, Standard Trading and the Holdsworth Chemist sign looking towards the OK Bazaars.



All the above were taken in the 1960's.

Some pics which I took up in Zambia about 6 months ago. I thought that the GNR folks would like to have a look...


Pic 1 - The inevitable Railroad Crossing sign, which I always used to read as 'Crossing Railroad' or 'Railsing Crossroad' as a kid... still do!
Pic 2 - The Mine Mess in Kitwe across the road from the old cinema
Pic 3 - The Mine Offices in Kitwe still with its immaculate gardens
Pic 4 - The Edinburgh Hotel in Kitwe
Pic 5 - The old Kafue bridge on the Kitwe-Ndola road - remember how many times it was blown up?
Pic 6 - The 'new' Kafue bridge - hippos still come to wallow there
Pic 7 - Hut on top of an anthill - Ndola-Kitwe road
Pic 8 - Still there - Duly Motors in Kitwe
Pic 9 - Downtown Kitwe; the road parallel to the main road on the way to the station.
