Trinder Square Vlei

The area known as Trinder Square in Western Road was formerly a wide open vlei used for watering the cattle on the Hill. On the north side of the vlei were a few semi-detached houses called "Trinder Villas" and in one of these lived for many years the Hon. W. Pearson, MLA who had married the widow of William Trinder Smith. The vlei was eventually filled in but the name Trinder Square remained and is today a popular playground with green lawns and shady trees and, more recently upgraded by the Mandela Bay Development Agency – MBDA.

Alan Straton

Chief Cook, Bottle Washer and Broom Mechanic at MyPE
Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.
