5th Precinct: TWISTNIET MILLS' SITE - Reclaim Camissa - Citizen Project (sitios de interés)
Descripción del sitio
TWISTNIET MILL was comprised of two large mills one erected 1801, the other in 1808, between the Gortmolen and the Rheezicht Mills. These were demolished in the early 1900s.
(In Rennie and Riley 1986)
The site of these mills today encompasses a large playing field, off Upper Orange street, and disconnected from the old river, but the pattern can still be 'read' in the old oak trees that once lined the river banks.
There exists a vast amount of wasted / lost space in the form of disused tennis courts which have now fallen into disrepair, 2004.

Provincially owned, a 9 year lease of the land has been acquired by AFRICAN BROTHER'S FOOTBALL ACADEMY - improvements to the site are evident.
