Scope and content
Views of Parow parish, Flats District, Cape Town, South Africa. The prints are annotated on the reverse:
‘This is Parow in the Cape Flats. We could build a church and convent in the foreground. … The orphanage is in the distance’.
‘Parow / the ground in front is Vicariate-owned. Building on left is church. The other buildings are the orphanage’.
‘Three of the coloured orphans at the little Oratory, Parow’.
‘Fr. Kelly’s Church in the heart of the Flats. Typical flat country with occasional roads thro it. But he has very few residents in such a place. He is very old now and I expect we shall be asked to take it later. He has his own house and four mission churches attached – all built by his own parishioners’ hands’.
