D And J. You were very close to me. Imagine that. The Factory was Carrington Sugar Factory. Actually the climb before Edgecombe village, is Carrington. There was also the Ebenezer Primary School just next door to the Methodist church. The school obviously no longer. That strength you said was boring/connection. That was all sugar cane fields. D&J that's not Government access road that once led to Kendal Sporting. That is Plantation road the same Carrington Plantation hence the state. The cane trucks/tractors would traverse obviously to transport canes to Carrington for grinding and production of sugar. The church and burial ground before the Bushy Park Racing ground is the Bushy Park Cemetery, Government owned. There are 3 Constituencies (East, West South). Thank you so very much D and J for being in my neck of the woods. Awaiting the other vids. Bless

Once again, I enjoyed your wonderful drive. It was awesome to see King George V Park. Keep up the quality work as I look forward to your drive every week.

[@DJDrives5018]

I'm from Brereton. Thanks for this, I left 1984....although I have been back home to visit a lot, this is so nice to see, because a lot of these places I don't get to visit when I an in Barbados.🎉

[@DJDrives5018]

Much more to come

[@wendywharton602]

This was an excellent drive and thank you. I’ve been to St. Philip on more than one occasion, and little did I know King George V Park was so close to the family I visited. This is definitely a place to visit next time I am in Barbados. 😊

[@agnesedwards1646]

Thank you for showing us into all these little sightings where no one would show us 🙏 ❤️

[@DJDrives5018]

Thanks for watching.

[@Lillihaven]

I've recently moved to St Philip. Thank you so much, I've learnt so much about places of interest here 😀

[@DJDrives5018]

Glad you are learning from our videos

[@pmb6667]

Thank you for this! I'm planning my move back home to Barbados, and I want to live on the East Coast, like St. Philip (or even St. john)! Sometimes I wish real estate companies and realtors had detailed driving tour videos like you do, we Bajans overseas can get a sense of the neighbourhoods. Thank you again, for what you're doing! 🙏 ❤🙂

[@DJDrives5018]

I am glad to know that our videos are helping you out. Thanks for the encouragement.

[@DJDrives5018]

Glad you got to see that!

[@lionelcox9119]

When I come down ta Barbados this is my early morning run, from the vegetables stall to Crane beach...

[@charnocks246]

My gran was from Braeton just off highway 5 ,she recently passed. Good memories

[@Ladyleemega7]

Wow.. I grew up in Brereton (aka Brereton's Village. ST. Philip). Who was your grandmother?

[@Ladyleemega7]

Also.. do you have family from Charnocks? My dad's side is all from Charnocks.

[@charlesgreaves8176]

Please do a video of cherry groves and bowmanston st John Barbados

[@agnesedwards1646]

Wow 👌 👏 i loved to see the old factory 🏭 thank you much appreciated ❤❤

[@Ladyleemega7]

Literally one of my childhood playgrounds. The molasses was still being processed right around 1984 when I left Barbados. I have such strong memories with my brothers and cousins there. Carrington Factory was one of the last sugar plantations on the island. Bittersweet historic site

[@rhondagittens7306]

Enjoy all your videos hope there is a nx one from st.philip didn't see you visit princess Margaret secondary .

[@DJDrives5018]

Unfortunately no more St. Philip drives but we have another long drive planned.

[@lionelcox9119]

There was this place you start at De old St Banards church going towards chalky mount make your first right then ah left go down this long hill at the bottom the right turn uses to bring one into Suriname an the top of the old Horse hill rd...It used to feel like the bottom of the earth...

[@lionelcox9119]

I'm waiting ta see you go over that scary bump in De road on route 5

[@loadingbmode7617]

Will you be covering the Parish of St George next?

[@janethegill1441]

Very good job

[@DJDrives5018]

Thank you.

[@patrickforde2148]

Those are oil pumping stations. Barbados produces about 1,000 barrels of crude oil per day which is sent to Trinidad for refining.

[@agnesedwards1646]

My mother in law lives in crane park south when you live emerald city pass the chinese restaurant coming up the stretch and a church will be on tge left side and a street right across it you make a left and a right and the house will be on the right

[@DJDrives5018]

Nice!

[@peterbushelle4001]

Good morning......I really appreciate what you and your son are doing to let persons see the other beautiful side of Barbados. In 2016 i used to manage the Bar opposite the road to Kendall Sporting for a friend of mine. Never got a chance to visit Kendall Sporting so thanks for taking me; especially with the condition of the road now to get there.

[@glendenecarter3800]

No rivers, waterfalls and volcanos so we have more land. You turn onto Bayfield and you can see Culpeper Island.🙂

[@DJDrives5018]

Cool!

[@EthelbertGill]

My father is from Barbados but has passon HE live Trinidad most of his life but I have a sister in Barbados i have never seen. I WILL LIKE TO TALK YOU. CAN YOU EMAIL ME?

[@elaineo3180]

My Bajan family were close with the Gill family many, many years ago in St. ANDREW Parish, hope you get to meet them.

[@lionelcox9119]

And I thought I was crazy when I went from De Russia village through Russia gully ta sugar hill...

[@lionelcox9119]

Ah side story about Kendall,,,The factory owner left all that way and went into Middleton St George and begged my Grandfather to come run the Factory for him,..and he refused...

[@lionelcox9119]

Why on earth folks let these so called people in charge get away wid shutting down Buckleys,,pure madness..Mia please it's time to reopen that sugar cane factory...

[@glendenecarter3800]

You mean cart roads you brave. Lol 😂

[@agnesedwards1646]

Please be careful when driving so deep

[@DJDrives5018]

We will thank you.

[@lionelcox9119]

There's a lot of mad people in Barbados I refuse to believe that folks in government ain't smart enough to to put ah dynamo in these old factories and burn the garbage to products cheap electricity for its citizens....come on folks we better than that...
