A farm called Kruispad Traditional Cache

I have changed the difficulty rating to 1.5, as some people seem to struggle a bit... Beware of enquiring muggle-eyes, as you will be right in the open, looking quite stupid where you stand. (If you are not younger than 6 years old.)  

The earliest record of the farm “Kruispad” where Brackenfell and Kraaifontein are today, was in a document of the Justice Board of Cape Town in 1708. The owner of the farm was Josua Sollier.

On the 6^th of November 1818, the farm was sold to Johan Hendrick Bruchheise. The size was registered as “1 356 morg 331 vierkant roede” and included Kanonkop. It stretched from Stellenberg and Hammansvlakte to Joostenbergvlakte in the Northeast. It changes owners until 26 October 1888, when Andries Brink buys it on an auction for 1000 Pounds. He immediately sold off the part where Kraaifontein is today for 250 Pounds. He keeps on selling off pieces for the next 9 years.

In 1901 and 1903 George Henry Walton, from Richmond, Yorkshire, buys the parts stretching from modern-day Protea heights to Kanonkop. He names it Bracken Fell. Bracken, referring to the hardy shrubs (Pteris Aquilina) growing on the farm and Fell, meaning hill.

Later, it is recognised as a local Authority until the year 2000, when it is taken in by the Municipality of Cape Town.

One last thing I do request, after you sign my treasure chest. Replace container nice and tight or it might go missing through the night.
