UNITS OF THE ZULU WAR 1879
Rorkes Drift Floor
Beneath the floor of the hospital museum at Rorkes Drift is a glass panel allowing you to see the original foundations. It;s a shame that I didn’t include the text panel when I took the shot. The stone work seems to be the same as the Kraal which makes sense. Did the hospital have a just stone floor or did it have wooden boards despite termite issues?
thanks for this, I’m pretty sure big Ben will timber floor it, but it’s great to have the question answered.
I do wonder about the wooden floor with what he said about termites. Could it just have been stone. Wish I’d caught the interpretation panel in my photo as I’m sure it would have revealed a bit more.
