History: After the surrender of Pretoria in the Anglo-Boer War, the Republican forces adopted guerilla tactics. Built by the British authorities during the Anglo-Boer War to protect the railway from destruction by the Boers, it formed a part of a formidable line of blockhouses that extended from Noupoort right across the Orange Free State and through Johannesburg and Pretoria to Polokwane.

The British forces erected a system of blockhouses to divide the combat areas into sectors. This blockhouse was part of one of the most important lines of blockhouses which stretched from Noupoort to Pietersburg
