Russell Road Port Elizabeth



Russell Road

Russell road branches off Main Street, from Port Elizabeth's traditional trading hub and now the city centre, and winds past what used to be the fine "Russell Road Technical College", Rink street and the "Horse Memorial" to join up with Cape Road. In Cape Road you will find lovely houses with traditional Victorian architecture reminding one of Port Elizabeth's wonderful British heritage. On the border of North End along the right embankment when driving east to west near Russel Road's zenith, are the old cemeteries dating back to approximately 1860.
