Diamond in the Rough

We took the train to the mining village of Cullinan a few weekends ago... this quaint little place is where the world's largest diamond, the 'Star of Africa' was discovered. With turn of the century houses that are now little restaurants, antique and décor shops and art galleries it has plenty of charm. The mine is still operational, and the mine head is visible close to the village.

Here is one of the small churches in Cullinan - this one was designed by Sir Herbert Baker.
