The place that Crawford called home

What you need to know:

  • There are a number of renovated houses among old buildings, some which appear to be on the verge of collapsing.
  • Crawford, who was a horticulture farmer and businessman, also kept dogs and donkeys.

About six kilometres from Nakuru town, on the highway to Nairobi, is a large parcel of land extending from one side of the road at Machine Junction.

On one side of the vast land stands a bushy thicket framed with cactus and tall acacia trees, which obstruct the view beyond.
