Industrial Decay, St. Vincent, W.I. -various locations

Whilst touring around the Island, there were many old abandoned Plantations, as well as the buildings & structures associated with past Industrial activities on St. Vincent.

Here's just a sample of them (there were lots more!)

Some interesting history can be found here for the Makers of the old wheel.....

Nice pics LB If you had the time you could have taken a cutlass and volunteered to clear all the bush from the site Each island in the West Indies had various plantations, primarily just sugar and later on cocoa + coffee, so you still find remnants of the old factories and refineries all over the place. It is surprising at times to see just how many used to be in existance. Sadly these relics of the past are fast disappearing. I've never been to St. Vincent but you seem to have really enjoyed yourself there. Did you have any beastly cold Hairoun

Ah yes, it only seemed right to sample some of the local "produce", thus supporting the Island's economy
Talking of cutlass's -watch this space.....
