About

The NG church tower is widely described as about 50 m and the tallest congregation tower in South Africa. The street grid filled with Victorian houses. Secondary accounts call Aberdeen one of the Karoo’s architectural conservation areas. A local legend says the last wild quagga was seen in this district — treat that as folklore unless a museum record is attached.
