Grocott's Mail

The gable of the building, with its Victorian and Flemish features, bears the date 1869-1906, while the present façade was added in 1906 after a devastating fire.

[2] In 1920 Grocott and Sherry bought out the Grahamstown Journal and the two publishers decided to issue a single daily edition due to the post war paper shortage.

The broad objective of the acquisition is to ensure the survival of Grocott’s Mail and to use it for the teaching of journalism students at the university.

Rhodes journalism students, working under supervision, provide stories, photographs and designs to readers.

Rhodes intends that Grocott's Mail will remain a community newspaper for the whole city and its surrounds.
