Lest We Forget: The Story of Hillcrest 1895–1995 by Elizabeth Camp is an important and highly collectible local history publication documenting a century of growth and community life in Hillcrest, KwaZulu-Natal. Published in 1999 to commemorate the centenary of Hillcrest, this 164-page illustrated paperback serves as both a nostalgic tribute and a valuable historical reference work for residents, historians, genealogists, and collectors of South African regional history.
Richly illustrated with numerous black-and-white photographs, Lest We Forget captures the evolution of Hillcrest from its early rural beginnings into a thriving Upper Highway community outside Durban. Historical images of buildings, roads, businesses, transport, schools, churches, and prominent local figures provide a fascinating visual journey through the area’s development over one hundred years. Elizabeth Camp compiled an engaging and accessible record of the people and events that shaped Hillcrest, preserving stories and imagery that may otherwise have been lost over time.
Local South African histories, particularly privately printed or region-specific publications such as Lest We Forget, are becoming increasingly difficult to source in superior condition. Works focusing on KwaZulu-Natal communities are especially desirable among collectors of Africana, Durban and Natal history, genealogy researchers, and readers with personal ties to the Hillcrest area.
This volume would make an excellent addition to any collection relating to KwaZulu-Natal heritage, South African local history, Africana, or historical photography. It is also a meaningful gift for anyone connected to Hillcrest or interested in the preservation of South Africa’s regional heritage and community stories.
