Today I’m in the community of Golden Grove, St Thomas, after spotting strange structures on Google Earth that didn’t quite make sense at first. After doing some research, I realized these weren’t random ruins at all, but part of a whole string of historic sugar plantations that once operated side by side.
Being curious, I decided to head out and see them for myself. In this vlog, I walk from Golden Grove to Hampton Court, Chiswick and finally Dalvey, exploring the remains of estates that once formed an important sugar corridor in eastern Jamaica.
Chiswick, in particular, stood out, as historical maps show it once had a cattle mill, a water mill, and a windmill tower, evidence of large-scale sugar production. Along the way, I talk about the plantation era, the colonial planters who owned these lands, and how some communities survived while others were completely forgotten.
This area was also heavily affected by natural disasters, including major flooding and the 1935 Jérémie hurricane, which devastated large parts of St Thomas and reshaped the landscape we see today.
What remains now are ruins, overgrown roads, and silent evidence of a system that once powered Jamaica’s economy. This is history hidden in plain sight.
