I love this, thank you so much for a look into the history of my homeland. Are all these photos your own, because I am trying to find photos of the parishes St Philip and St John, do you know where I could find these online? Thank you again, I have sent this link to my elderly mother, I know she will enjoy it. I especially love the folk songs, I know a couple of them from hearing my mother sing them when i was young. Wow, just wow!!
Great jog, however your photograph of the cane train at 17:52 is not Barbados. It is (c.1935) of Hawaii, Oahu. The Steam train hauling sugar cane, is a black and white postcard from Hawaii. For some reason, this photo is often confused for Barbados although such an engine did not operate in Barbados.
Thanks. I knew it wasn't a photograph taken in Barbados, but I couldn't find one showing sugar cane being transported by a train. It is however a good representation of what took place.
I have been looking for a photograph of a train in Barbados hauling cane to factory for many years without success. I’m beginning to believe that only manufactured sugar was carried to Bridgetown from the factories along the line and cane to factory was only ever carried by animal cart. Never mind, nice presentation all the same.
My childhood memories! I was in tears. God bless Barbados.

Thanks for your comments. The photos came from the internet. For photos of old Barbados try Googling "Old Barbados Photos".
Thank you for uploading

Music sounds very much like the Merrymen.
Yes the Merrymen.
Video was spoilt by the background music
