The Rand Pioneers Memorial in Pioneer Park, La Rochelle

This is not a memorial in the conventional sense of the word, but rather an enclosed "lodge" lined with plaques bearing the names of those who were considered "Rand Pioneers". I am not quite sure what constitutes a Rand Pioneer, but there are many names there that correlate to the names of streets and suburbs in Johannesburg. Situated at the entrance to Pioneer Park and next to the James Hall Museum of Transport, it is easily overlooked and its context is vague, especially when viewed after all these years.
