YES YES YES that snippet from 2:01 to 2:02 is actually Chaguanas!!!! There was once a roundabout there ( I was told by a grey-haired taxi-driver). That's why the car appears to be going around it to continue due south. Wow. I knew that 50's deco building all my life. Thanks for posting this Sooty1312!!!!
I swear to God that building at (2:01 to 2:04) is the one that used to be right beside the flyover in Chaguanas that has only recently been torn down in 2010/2011 to make way for a private nursing home...!!!!!!! I almost fell off my CHAIR!!!!!! If ANYONE can verify this please please please message me (theleftbank@hotmail.com or link me with the same email on Facebook) Thanks.

The Princess Margaret Highway exactly as I remember it and actually close to possibly my last memory on Earth as our plane (a BOAC Stratocruiser pretty pleeease someone post a clip of one) was delayed some 12 hours in Barbados with an engine fault and my father was exhausted by the time we children arrived Piarco summer holidays 1958 and almost veered off the road, which was monotonous in places, at one point.
Oh there's LOTS more to come sire! Drilling at Apex Oilfields, Princess Margaret's arrival at Piarco, Carnival 1957, Radio Trinidad and Radio Guardian, Forest Reserve, Pointe a Pierre refinery, Yacht Club, PoS harbour...etc. etc. etc.
