Background
History
The house, which was originally battlemented, was completed around 1820. In 1835 it became the birthplace of Field Marshal Sir George White VC, who commanded the garrison at the Siege of Ladysmith during the Second Boer War. It was demolished without permission in 2001 during the construction of a block of apartments that now occupy the site.
