Name: North End
Port Elizabeth is South Africa’s second oldest city and also the commercial capital of the Eastern Cape. It is situated on the South Eastern Coast of South Africa (most southern country on the African continent). We form part of the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro which also includes the towns of Uitenhage and Despatch (approx 1.5 million people). Need to find us on a map, well then this will help: 33°58'S 25°36'E.
What do the locals call Port Elizabeth? Anything from ‘PE’, ‘The Friendly City’, ‘The Windy City’, ‘Die Baai’ to ‘Ibhayi’.

Additional information:
Port Elizabeth water supply: The earliest Water Workshop was part of the Municipal Depot (or stables) in the Baakens Valley. After the flood of 1908 the depot was relocated to North End and became known as the Harrower Road Depot. The Water Workshops were on the west side of the depot in Connaught Avenue. In 1991 and 1993 the Water Distribution and Water Installation Workshops, respectively, moved to the newly established Burchell Depot at Hunters Retreat. The new premises were designed around the needs of the workshops and have proved to be a major improvement. The workshop in Cuyler Street, Uitenhage have been retained. (Ref.8)
