This is the Cosmo Club as it is today. In the 1960s it was set back quite considerably but as you can see it now borders Umgeni Road. I incorrectly said Soldiers Way in my first comment in that Old Fort Road bisects the two with Umgeni Road on the one side and Soldiers Way on the other. I cannot recall Bill Paterson’s note about a “Jesus Red” or its English equivalent “Jesus Saves” sign on the plot he mentions. However The Cosmo Club if I recall had a rounded appearance at the front but I may be wrong. As you can see it has been recently renovated and appears to be used as some sort of accommodation. The narrow upstairs windows I would say are original as those I do recall.

Evening.
Hope you well?
My late grandfather was the owner of the Cosmo Night Club Charles Frolick.
He also was the owner of Aussies Taxis. His nick name was Aussie Frolick.
I heard many stories about the club from my late father and grandfather.
Kind regards

Hi Steven
He must have been the owner of Aussies Triangular Petrol Station which skirted Soldiers Way.

Different Aussie. They were often confused with each other.
Kind regards

Aussies Taxis had a fleet of Valiant Rebel cars into which I installed the air-conditioning units in those years very few motor cars had factory installed air-conditioning.
Due to the satisfaction of my work I was given special admission to the Cosmo Club by Aussie .
