Although no Jews have lived in Dordrecht for at least 25 years, the stones are in good condition as is the general appearance of the place. It is surrounded by a stone wall with two gates, one of which is missing. Entry is through the Christian and Muslim burial grounds. I visited this cemetery in September 1996 and have photographs of all the graves. I am also in the process of writing up the history of the community there.
Records are in the shul office as are photographs of the graves.
The 100th year anniversary book of Durban states that the first burial was in 1880, a Morris Rouse, in a portion of the West Street Cemetery now at the corner of Brook and Queen streets. The book then mentions another area, walled in 1905, which goes on to the Umbilo Road Cemetery. There are probably no Jews in the Umbilo Road Cemetery. The first cemetery in Durban to have a Jewish section was Brook Street. The unmarked graves are unidentified persons.
