Exploring Flat Bridge, Fern Gully and the Historic Hyde Hall Great House, (Amazing Journeys)

Exploring the Historic Hyde Hall Great House, the last great house (Amazing Journeys)
#trelawny #history #jamaica
link to Reggae Dashcam / @reggaedashcam
Today's amazing journey takes us back in time, 202 years back. Back to a time when plantations flourished and slaves and sugar were the commodities of choice, an era, lost in time and hidden from the history books of our people.
To get to our destination we went across eight parishes, saw some of the most spectacular sights and drove on some of the most unforgiving roads. We got pulled over a few times by the police, got lost in Trelawney but then I found something…something quite Amazing.

    Beautiful!!! Some of my best memories from childhood includes driving through the Jamican countryside with my late Grandmother on the colorful busses. The nostalgia is overwhelming as I watch this video.🙏😥

    Oh and Patricia, that last shot of you at Hyde Hall was priceless, all I could think was, "she's home". Di place fit you my dear and i have no doubt of how lovingly you'd restore it to its former grandeur.

    Indeed a great video, it's a crying shame that the present owner of this great house failed to restore it dare I say, to it's former glory. The lady said give it to her and she would restore it single handedly. You're not alone girl, my sentiment as well.

    The Government or some deep pocketed concerned persons should come together and purchase the property and restore the house to be like Rose Hall Great House to make some money from tourists and local tours from schools etc. At the same time it would be preserving a part of Jamaica's rich history. Love yor videos keep up the good job.

    Good to hear and see the history. Thanks for seeking it out. While watching the video, it struck me that these people could be the dependence of the slaves that once worked on the plantation. Truth to tell the masters died out or moved on to England or America. But, the slaves stayed and continued living and having families until now. I am elated and sad at the same time. Could we not elevate their stature from rags and bare footedness? We go and gock and thank them, thanks for giving us a tour. Do you give them a tip for their knowledge? Hope you did. We are just as bad as the slave masters taking from these people and not giving back. Think about it!😏🤔
