Summary

[edit]
Description
Afrikaans: Gedenkteken by die Michellspas-tolhuis van 1848:

Ou Pad (Mostertshoek). Hierdie steen staan in die eerste wapad wat oor die berg na Ceres gegaan het. Dit was gemaak deur Jan Mostert in 1765. Geskenk deur Mnr. en Mev. C.E. van Dyk. Opgerig 29.9.55. Met [Ceres-] Eeufees.

Die huidige pas is in 1848 deur Andrew Geddes Bain gebou en vernoem na die landmeter-generaal van die Kaap, Charles Collier Michell. Michellspas het die byna onbegaanbare Mostertshoekpas/tolpad wat in 1765 deur Jan Mostert van die plaas Wolwekloof gebou is, vervang. Die Ou Pad se tolhuis, tans 'n ruïne, was naby die hoogste punt daarvan.
Deutsch: Denkmal am Michellspas-Mauthaus von 1848:

Alte Straße (Mostertshoek). Dieser Stein steht auf der ersten Wagenstraße, die über den Berg nach Ceres führte. Es wurde 1765 von Jan Mostert angefertigt. Gespendet von Herrn. und Frau C.E. van Dyk. Gegründet am 29.9.1955, während der Hundertjahrfeier.

Der heutige Pass wurde 1848 von Andrew Geddes Bain erbaut und nach dem Generalvermesser des Kaps, Charles Collier Michell, benannt. Michell's Pass ersetzte den steilen Mostertshoek Pass, der 1765 von Jan Mostert erbaut wurde. Das inzwischen heruntergekommene Zollhaus der Alte Straße befand sich nahe seinem höchsten Punkt.
English: Memorial at the Michellspas tollhouse from 1848:

Old Road (Mostertshoek). This stone stands in the first wagon road that went over the mountain to Ceres. It was made by Jan Mostert in 1765. Donated by mr. and mrs. C. E. van Dyk. Established 29.9.1955. During centennial.
The memorial commemorates the old wagon pass / toll road, Mostertshoek, build by Jan Mostert of the farm Wolwekloof in 1765, and was donated by mr. and mrs. G.E. van Wyk as part of the Ceres centenary and unveiled on 29 September 1955.

The current pass was built in 1848 by Andrew Geddes Bain and named for the surveyor-general of the Cape, Charles Collier Michell, and replaced the precipitous Mostertshoek Pass. The Old Road's toll house, now a ruin, was near its highest point.
