Frank Fewster Chamberlain opened his trading store in Riviera, a village north east of Pretoria. The store (pictured right) was located on a stream where ox-wagons trekking to the Lowveld and Mozambique would stop for watering and repairs. Uncle Frank’s shop supplied produce and second-hand building materials to dairy farmers in the Moot valley.
The earliest surviving document of the family business (pictured right)– a receipt for the 1st instalment on the property in Rietfontein, now Riviera, bought by Frank Fewster Chamberlain in December 1903.
The fourth generation of Chamberlains, Anne Chamberlain, Catherine Chamberlain, Gareth Chamberlain and Victoria Chamberlain continue the family traditions in 2016.
