Constructed by Consul Hugh Marshall, it stood on the left bank of the Lucheche Stream facing down stream with its front gate facing the old Stevenson Road. Later this road ran to St Paul's Mission. It used to wind down to Katuta Bay in Lake Tanganyika where the African Lakes Corporation had a depot. The site is some 2 to 3km north of the Old Prison near what used to be called the Boma Gardens. There should be the remains of a large high roofed house nearby. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b2629de4b007479dfa7540/1447170269421-GMJR8Q4JNL6PFFBWQ4ZV/Main%2BResidence%2BLuanzua.jpg ADD IMAGES HERE The Main Residence at Lunzua Agricutluaa Station, Abercorn in the 1950s. This high roofed house was built by Unwin Moffat when the station moved from The Gardens on the Lucheche Stream to a site about 14 mile down the Kasama Road. The Station later became a staff training centre and was the first home of the Outward Bound School that later moved to Mr Laskie's House Kitula on the Mpulungu Road. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b2629de4b007479dfa7540/1594646626123-NMUGPPVLICIGHS63HA99/01_Bismarckburg+from+Landside+%28east%29.jpg ADD IMAGES HERE Bismarckburg from Landside (east).

Pamela Shurmer-Smith in The Overseas Pensioner. At long last I’ve brought my abridged letters into a book that I hope will interest many people who have lived and worked in Northern Rhodesia/Zambia and, perhaps, to those who have not. I have inserted sections which explain the political situation which I found in Northern Rhodesia when I arrived in 1959 and its turbulent history over the succeeding three years until the country stood on the threshold of Independence. Not everyone will agree with my interpretation of these events, but at least they are consistent with the views I expressed in my letters written as these events were unfolding. I also explain briefly how the colonial administrative system operated in theory and in practice; there is much reference in my letters to the extensive foot and landrover tours which I and my fellow officers did in order to visit all corners of our huge district. And having spent the whole of my first tour of three years in Barotseland, apart from two months in Northern Province during the 1961 troubles, my letters and commentary explain the particular circumstances of working in a feudal African kingdom. I don’t disguise my impatience with the British and Barotse establishments for their concern to maintain the status quo and their lack of foresight in recognising the inevitability of Independence in the very near future. The book is printed in colour. In addition to the front and rear covers there are over 60 photos, most of them in colour, throughout the text. As far as possible they are placed to illustrate points as they arise in the text, such as the Queen Mother’s visit to Barotseland in May 1960. 320 pages with 4 maps. The price of the book is £14.99 including p&p in the UK and is available from me direct at PO Box 3843, Glasgow G62 9DB and via the internet at mc1284@gmail.com. PS Some of my readers will have known me as Malcolm but those who knew me after my marriage will know me by my family name of Callum which I have used as the author’s name.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b2629de4b007479dfa7540/1487327260945-FSHAFWE035HDENY063VS/TTHGM+Front+Cover+JPG-2.jpg Links   Buy now from http://ruthhartley.com/books/ Description Heart of Darkness and Lust for Life collide as the Cold War in Africa gets hot. Lara, the artist, loves both Oscar, a suave, older entrepreneur, and owner of the Tin Heart Gold Mine and Tim, a journalist seeking truth. This is a dramatic story, about vibrant, intriguing characters passionate about art, love, the making of money and the African bush, whose lives become entangled in war and politics. How well do we ever know the people we love? The Tin Heart Gold Mine opens in 1985 with Lara and Oscar, lovers in the wilderness of Chambeshi, surrounded by beauty and hidden danger. It immediately switches to London in 1988, where Lara’s past love for Oscar is threatening her marriage to Tim. The Tin Heart Gold Mine is a fast-moving novel, providing an intense portrayal of an artist’s life in London and painting the landscape and politics of an African country in colourful and truthful detail. It will appeal to fans of contemporary fiction, as well as those who enjoyed Ruth’s first novel, The Shaping of Water. A Note From the Publisher Born on an African farm in 1943, Ruth Hartley attended Art School in Cape Town. She has travelled back and forth between the UK and Africa over her life, spending her most recent years travelling throughout Europe. She now lives in France.
