Anglo-Boer War Block House

Anglo-Boer War Block House

An Anglo-Boer War Block House at Wellington, Western Cape Province, South Africa. This blockhouse guards the railway bridge just outside Wellington, on the road to Wolseley. This is the most southerly relic of the Anglo-Boer war. It was one of a number of fortified Block Houses built by the British to protect the railway line from boer commandos.
