    You know the differences between various parts of Highway 1 well. The only thing I would add is that immediately after Sandy Lane it's Vauxhall and then Sunset Crest.

      As a kid growing up in the 70s we spent many days playing around that golf ball building in charnocks. I believe it's used by the airport as a radar system as it's on the highest ground in that area.

    I was born in St Michael's.. I leave there in 75.. I wonder what Jessamine ave and beckles rd looks like. I used to walk to Bay Primary school. There used to be this big windmill behind my house separated by this huge wall. To the left of that wall was a galvanized fence with two big dogs. My friends and I would put sticks under the fence and try to hold them while the dogs would pull like crazy.. 😂 and every time we would play cricket and the ball went over the fence we would climb the fence and take our chance getting that ball back... 😂😂😂.. that ball took time to make man..

      Chalky Mount Primary was closed in 2013 due to structural issues with the building which was subsequently demolished as a result. I suspect land slippage may have had something to do with that. The area to the left shown at around 7:11 is where the school once stood.
