dbpprop:abstract
  • Avondale is a suburb of Harare, Zimbabwe, located about 3.5km north of Harare city centre. It is the earliest suburb established in Harare, having been laid out in 1903. Prior to becoming a suburb Avondale was a dairy farm and was named after Avondale, County Wicklow, Ireland the home of the 19th century Irish politician Charles Stewart Parnell. Avondale was incorporated into Harare Municipality in 1934. The first official marriage ceremony in Zimbabwe took place on Avondale farm in 1894 when the Count de la Panouse was married to Fanny Pearson (Countess Billie) by Lt Col. Marshall Hole, the Chief Magistrate of Salisbury. Countess Billie managed the dairy farm and at the time supplied Salisbury with 100 bottles of milk a day and 100 pounds of butter a week. Avondale has expanded and now has an extension called Avondale West. Avondale has a shopping centre, with two supermarkets, a fleamarket, three cinemas, and several restaurants, including The Italian Bakery, Scoop, Nando's, XO, Faith Wear and other shops and businesses. Residents include Morgan Tsvangirai, the Prime Minister of Zimbabwe.
  • Avondale er en forstad til Harare i Zimbabwe. Avondale, som ligger cirka 3,5 km nord for Harare sentrum, ble forstad i 1903 og er dermed Harares eldste forstad. Avondale besto i begynnelsen kun av en gård som produserte melk og har sitt navn etter Avondale i County Wicklow i Irland. Avondale ble innlemmet i Harare kommune i 1934. Den første offisielle ekteskapsinngåelsen i Zimbabwe fant sted på Avondale-gården i 1894 da greve de la Panouse giftet seg med Fanny Pearson (grevinne Bilie). Grevinne Billie styrte gården og forsynte Harare (da Salisbury) med 100 flasker melk til dagen og 50 kilo smør i uken. Avondale har vokst og omfatter i dag også et område kalt Avondale West. I Avondale finnes et kjøpesenter, med to supermarkeder, et loppemarked, tre kinoer og flere restauranter, inludert The Italian Bakery, Scoop, Nando's, XO, Faith Wear og andre butikker og virksomheter.
