1820 is the year when British settlers came to Grahamstown and formed colonies. They were granted farms in Bathurst but inexperienced and poor, they were forced to change their trade and finally settled in Grahamstown and Port Elizabeth.

I took this picture just when you're approaching the Memorial Monument.
