Parish Profile: Clarendon, The Heartbeat of Jamaica.

[@repottedchangeforbetter5926]

That's my parish! Big up yourself, Alex 🇯🇲 One love!

[@73005]

My mother is from Clarendon, my father is from Manchester. I never lived in Jamaica, but my whole culture is steeped in these two parishes!!!!!

[@HummingbirdJa]

Clarendon has some surprises, I had no idea about. Before watching this video, I hadn't given Clarendon a second thought. Now, I would really like to see the preserved great house and other bits of the parishes history. (Watching a second time.)

[@MacDeez-i5f]

Clarendon is that rural parish that has characteristics of Kingston and Spanish.

Maypen is my town now watching from Florida 🇯🇲

[@elizabethhall1527]

Thanks for this video. Parish of my birth went to school there for a short while. Didn't think much about it until I checked my birth certificate and visited the district. Now,you have sparked even more of my interest in this parish.

Although, I’ve only lived 13 years in my Parish. I had been always extremely proud to be a true Clarendonian.

[@SimpleThingsOutreachMedia]

Hey Alex. Thanks for featuring my parish. The invitation still exists for you to come tour some rich historical culture and ruins from the slavery era over my side with me.

Alex in reality Kingston is the heartbeat of Jamaica, but very informative vedio.

[@JollyBrown-z4u]

Chapelton was my town back in the 60th and 70t how do I let a fishing in the Rio Mino I know about lots of things you are talking about

[@duragjulie1182]

Plz do westmoreland next. I’m from there n I live in Cayman. I recently found out that cayman was specifically an extension of westmoreland. I always known that Jamaica had jurisdiction over the island at one point but I had no idea that my parish was in charge of it.

[@EliteJamaica]

There is a video about that on the channel

[@duragjulie1182]

@ ok ok I didn’t know I’m a new subscriber 😅 what’s the title of the video

[@EliteJamaica]

@duragjulie1182 Title: "Did you know Jamaica ruled the Cayman Islands"

[@MacDeez-i5f]

Cayman and Westmoreland use to operate as one sovereignty at one point

[@dalkeithrichards]

Rio Minho is now like a small spring so sad. Is this because of mining in Manchester

[@springgarden1]

This brick walk way was built my Roy Roman contractor the mason called Tiget if i can remember it was built in 1995 i have a photo sitting there

Nothing wrong with the song, actually glad it had Indian influenced music in lone with out of many one considering Clarendon has a significant Indians Jamaican population

[@devonsimpson9726]

Black River is the largest river, but Rio Minho is the longest.

Why did you highlight Clarendon in orange on the map? Clarendon is a very green place 🌴🌲🌴🌲🐊

[@EliteJamaica]

The colour on the thumbnail has noting to do with Politics or any other crazy idea you have.

I thought Black River was the longest river too. He covered St Elizabeth but didn't mention Lovers Leap

[@EliteJamaica]

There is a video about lovers leap already on the channel

CRIME ,COUPLED WORH BEING SO CLOSE TO MANCHESTER IS WHAT HOLD BACK THIS PARISH

[@InfoSpectrum876]

Crime is holding back every parish, in fact, the entire country. Do explain why being in close proximity contributes to the "holding back", because there are 3 other parishes that are also close.

[@chiefydon6175]

Crime is fact yes but look what's going in Manchester with scamming and crime in that parish now Manchester can't size up with Clarendon so I don't get your comment about Manchester holding back Clarendon when was the last time you been to Clarendon May Pen should become a city easily

[@MacDeez-i5f]

@chiefydon6175 Yeah but Manchester had a head start .Where as Clarendon was always violent and lack opportunities. Manchester has top universities in affluent environment. Mandeville is the post child for retirement and mansion. Clarendon is not on Manchester level.Remember Manchester is one of the most educated parishes we have,and I could go on .Has close as the parishes are,you can easily tell Manchester people are more affluent and refine.

[@richardthompson98]

I thought the black river was the longest in Jamaica

[@InfoSpectrum876]

Black River is the longest navigable river, but Rio Minho is the longest.

[@richardthompson98]

@ thanks

[@waynebruce-cn2uq]

Very informative video, big up Pennants .

[@samxg5013]

The parish is gone to the dogs now bro. All our industries are closed down agricultural lands are being used to build houses only taxi operators seems to be left.

[@chiefydon6175]

Yuh talking pure foolishness with this comment bout Clarendon gone to the dog

[@Kawbkilla187]

I really hope that horrible song at the beginning wasn't AI generated

[@namkebanyanklariti]

Why are we boastfully featuring and highlighting what was going in Halse's head when he was designing his great house aka a symbol of oppression and conquest????????

[@elizabethhall1527]

@namkebanyanklariti why do you want it to be kept as a secret?

[@namkebanyanklariti]

@elizabethhall1527 I never said I wanted it to be a secret. Why do Jamaicans emotionally react to what they read and totally missed what is said?

[@elizabethhall1527]

@namkebanyanklariti Help this Jamaican to see what she missed here.
