"Though not officially named Herrengracht until the middle of the eighteenth century, the link between Van Riebeeck's old fortress and vegetable gardens was from the very beginning of the Cape settlement the " walk" taken by the gentlemen of the Dutch East India Company for the pursuit  of their commercial and social activities. Round this GENLTLEMAN'S WALK the town was built-initially reluctantly, afterwards with a purpose.The gist of the story has been told when in 1850  Heerengracht became Adderley Street and as such was not a gentleman's walk any longer." Picard dresses the factual story of Cape Town's streets, lanes and squares in the colourful robe of South Africa's historical background.
