Join Timetraveller on an unforgettable walking adventure through the historic heart of old-town Johannesburg. From the gold rush streets of Ferreirasdorp to the power corridors of Marshalltown, we uncover the stories, myths, and characters that built the City of Gold.
🔎 Along the way you’ll:
• Descend into the old Ferreira’s Mine tunnel
• Solve the mystery of which George really discovered gold
• Learn how gold transformed the Witwatersrand
• Explore the fascinating history of Gandhi Square and inner-city regeneration
• Walk historic Main Street and see rare mining relics — including a stamp battery buried for 23 years
• Visit the former Anglo American plc campus and the legacy of the early mining magnates
• Stand at the Randjeslaagte Beacon, where Johannesburg was officially born in 1886
🤯 Plus we’ll unravel some of Joburg’s strangest mysteries:
• What’s the truth behind the three Georges?
• What did a circus have to do with early Johannesburg?
• How is soda water connected to the Vaal Dam?
• Where exactly was Frenchfontein?
• Why was Pritchard Street once Joburg’s ultimate shopping destination?
