The streets in this area are named after Boer War locations and even the Mill is Durban Mill. The subject is centred on the tree that still survives and the street immediately to the left is Kimberley Street. In the distance the chimney belong to Brook No. 2 Mill that is seen either side of the tree. Both these mills have been demolished and there are new houses on the Durban Mill Site and the Oasis Academy on the Brook No. 2 Mill site.
