TIME OUT IN TRINIDAD - 1950s - Pt. 14 - Mount Saint Benedict

[PeterLawrence193]

Do you have any videos of the village life in that period ? I lived off St John's Road, the main road to the Mount from 1965-1987. Great videos, keep them coming

@PeterLawrence193 Sorry Peter, I don't have any film of that...just various shots of Penal Market, a few of Debe and some other places down south...those clips are still to come. I'm working my way through 3 hours of 8mm film here.

That not even an hour's drive from where I live now and I haven't been up there since I was a child. I was fascinated by the grounds and the religious pendants they sold there.

@fuzzybearphoto Isn't that strange.  I boarded at the Abbey School and I too was fascinated by all the religious pendants they sold in the shops there. I think I still have one.

@oldtimecalypso maybe you would like to get the alumni newsletter of The Abbey School??
