What to know locally in Ladysmith

Older homes and guesthouses near the town centre hold Victorian settees, riempie benches and wooden dining chairs that need regluing and a careful recover.

Sitting where the N11 meets the road to the Drakensberg, Ladysmith gets upholstery work from both directions. Truckers and transport firms on the N3 near Van Reenen need cab seats rebuilt, while lodges, resorts and guesthouses in the foothills send lounge chairs, headboards and patio cushions.
