What comes to mind when you hear the name “Riverside”? For those in the know, it evokes images of Athlone and its charming neighbor, Umgeni Park, here in Durban. Athlone isn’t just a pretty name by the water. This suburb, nestled north of the Umgeni River, holds a special place in Durban’s history. You see, before the grand bridges and bustling city life, Athlone played a key role in connecting Durban North to the heart of it all – Stamford Hill. And the linchpin of this connection? The iconic Athlone Bridge, erected in 1927, stands as a testament to the suburb’s enduring legacy. It’s more than just a bridge, it’s a symbol of Athlone’s role in shaping Durban as we know it.
