While browsing the net for information about the former business activities around Paarl Station, I came accross a very informative article written by Marguerite Lombard in The Paarl Post. It can be viewed at: http://www.paarlpost.com/cgib/article?newsid=13108 .
 From the article, I experience some of the same emotions about this area than the people who were once connected to District Six in Cape Town. I believe this area had a similar make up, but just on a smaller scale with a bit more of a country flavour to it.

Former residents of this area have the history of Suider-Paarl locked up in their memories. Please share those memories with us on this page. We would like to hear about the people, their activities and about the buildings. Kindly make mention of the time era that you refer to. Just share anything about Paarl Station and Suider-Paarl with us.

Dis lekker om van die Bo-Paarl se geskiedenis te hoor. Huguenot was destyds die onder-Paarl. Al die stories wat my grootouers van Simondium vertel het oor die trein wat mense uit F'hoek aangery het en inkopies by Goss en Back was toe bevestig. Baie nostalgies.

Hi Shaun,
Dankie vir jou bydrae. Ek sal so graag uitstaande gebeurtenisse in die geskiedenis oor Suider-Paarl wou bekom om by te voeg tot die webblaaie van hierdie webwerf. Soos jy terêg sê, daar is so baie nostalgie wat opgesluit is in die herinneringe.
