Ghost Town of Kolmaskop
Kolmanskop was once the Consolidated Diamonds Mine (CDM) Headquarters, boasting a casino, skittle alley and a theatre with fine acoustics, among others. However, the slump in diamond sales after WWI and the discovery of richer pickings at other places, ended its heyday and by 1956, the town was totally deserted. We've posted some pictures of how Kolmanskop looks today... a "ghost town"?
