What to know locally in Welkom
Mine houses in Welkom, Riebeeckstad and Virginia often hold heavy lounge suites and wingbacks from the mining years with hardwood frames that only need new springs, webbing and foam. Dining chairs with drop-in seats are a common Saturday job. In Thabong, home upholsterers recover couches in durable fabrics and usually collect with a bakkie, and families often bring a headboard at the same time.
Welkom: the homes, the climate and the workshops
Welkom was planned as a gold mining town, with wide streets, traffic circles and rows of mine houses, and many of those houses are now owned by families who have lived in them for decades. That means plenty of solid lounge suites, dining sets and wingbacks from the mining years that are worth recovering rather than replacing. Riebeeckstad and the older suburbs bring this kind of work, while Thabong has home upholsterers and a busy taxi trade. Mine vehicles and contractor bakkies from around Odendaalsrus and Virginia need seats rebuilt and covers fitted. Workshops sit in the industrial area and near the CBD. Dust from the mine dumps and dry winters are hard on fabric and leather.
