Descripción del sitio
ZORGVLIET MILL, on the corner of Prince and Sir George Grey Streets, opposite the Zorgvliet tuin and the Hurling swaai pump. The exact date of its erection is not known, but it was already in existence from 1825, when Michiel van Breda was listed as 'miller, and owner of the garden and house at Zorgvliet'. In 1848, Jacob Letterstedt (and his wife) were the registered owners of the 'Prince Street Mill'. In 1857, James Smith was themiller at 'Letterstedt's Mill, in Prince Street'. In 1867, Zorgvliet Mill was owned by H.O.A. Truter, with Willian Cox and H. Groenewald as the millers. And in 1869, the mill was sold to W. Silberbauer, who also owned the Platteklip, Rheezicht and Annnandale Mills at this time. It was converted into a house and later demolished, in the 1950s.
