Nottingham Road at a glance
Notties is a lovely vibrant community with people who farm, own or work in small businesses, commute to and from our major hubs, have moved here for the country lifestyle, work in the tourism sector etc. We are a caring, close knit and remarkable community with lots of interesting characters! We like to support local in terms of shopping, events, markets, fundraising, community schools and each other. During both good and challenging times we certainly pull together! That's what makes our community special and unique.
A brief History
Settlers from Scotland settled in the area in the mid-19th century. At the end of 1885, the railway reached where Nottingham Road now lies. Previously named Harrison's Camp and then Karkloof Station it was renamed Nottingham Road Station after Fort Nottingham down the road.
A small hotel and store were established where George Nicol's smithy would later be in 1889 (now Notties Fuel & Gas), George Orwin bought the land where the Railway Hotel (today known as the Nottingham Road Hotel) would be built by C. Morgan and finished in 1891. In April 1884, John King donated the grounds where a small wood and iron Presbyterian church known as St. John's Gowrie was built and opened in February 1885.
The Nottingham Road Farmers' Association, one of the oldest agricultural societies in South Africa was founded on October 26, 1887, by 11 prominent local citizens in the Railway Hotel. Their meeting hall, a long time project, opened in December 1933. Today, it hosts the Nottingham Road Landowners' Association and a local library.
