Description
“View on the Longmuir Road.” Landscape of hilly terrain from a roadside, indigenous labourers sit on rocks and two men carry a hammock. The Longmuir Road [Gorodi Road] was named after a lady from Aberdeen who donated four thousand pounds towards its construction. The road was needed to transport equipment from Port Stewart to Livingstonia and rose two and a half thousand feet over eleven miles. The surveyor on the project was Mr F W Hardie and the road was built, by hand using hundreds of labourers, between 1901 and 1905. ❧ Album containing photographs recording a voyage up the Shire River and scenes from the Livingstonia mission.
