Jamestown: The forgotten gold camp that came before Barberton
Before Barberton became a booming gold-rush town, there was Jamestown, a rough, fever-ridden diggers’ camp where some of the valley’s first gold was found. Today it has almost vanished from memory, but its story marks the true beginning of the Barberton goldfields.
