Reclamation of the Foreshore, Cape Town

This view of Cape Town's first chimney at the Dock Road power-station was taken from recently-completed sister chimney, dubbed "Ugly Duckling No. 2". The lumps of carbon which have formed on the top of the stack are clearly shown. Traversing the picture from left to right can be seen Kingsway - the extension of Adderley Street to the docks. The new marine terminal will be built near the end of Kingsway. It will probably be at least ten years before any permanent building appears on the Sahara-like Foreshore area shown in this picture.
