Summary

Today, we're at the foot of Table Mountain in Cape Town, on palm-lined avenues leading to a sugared-almond façade known simply as The Nellie. This episode investigates how a former Company’s Garden estate became the Mount Nelson; from Dutch refreshment station and imperial shipping stop to Boer War headquarters, royal residence and sanctuary for statesmen, spiritualists and rock stars.
