| dc.description.abstract | • Opsomming: Die Kaapstadse voorstad Woodstock, oorspronklik bekend as Papendorp, toon onmiskenbare tekens van verwaarlosing en agteruitgang. Tog is hierdie bedrywige, uitgestrekte gebied met sy mengelmoes van bouvallige woonhuise en vuil fabrieke vroeër beskryf as 'n rustige dorp met 'n eg-plattelandse atmosfeer. Die aanlê van 'n spoorlyn het egter tot voorstedelike groei en nywerheidsontwikkeling bygedra en 'n einde aan hierdie landelike karakter gebring. Die artikel is as't ware 'n herontdekking van die Woodstock van gister en vandag aan die hand van bevolkingsyfers en deur die beskrywing van industriële vooruitgang, die invloed van St. Mary's Anglikaanse kerk en die instelling van munisipale bestuur in 1882. | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | • Summary: Originally known as Papendorp, the Caperonian suburb of Woodstock has a rather neglected and run-down appearance. This article looks at the "bustling, sprawling mixture of crumbling residences and grimy industry" in what once was "a peaceful country village" with a rural air. Things, however, changed when a railway line was completed, stimulating suburbanization and industrialization. Population returns, industrial development, the influence of St Mary's Anglican Church and establishment of a municipality (1882) are analysed and described in an attempt to rediscover the Woodstock of yesterday and today. | |
