Driving in Barbados - Holetown/Westmoreland/Arch Hall
In this video, the journey starts in Holetown, continuing all the way up Highway 1 to Folkestone. After turning off Highway 1, the trip continues into Porters, up to Westmoreland (home of the famous Royal Westmoreland golf courses and residences) and onto the Ronald Mapp Highway (RMH). From there, it passes through several districts, including Lancaster, Arch Hall, Dairy Meadows, Holders Hill and Husbands where the journey ends. The video includes a quick tour of Arch Hall Development (behind the Arch Hall Fire Station) which is given before the journey continues along the RMH before turning off into Norwoods (road through the Sandy Lane golf courses).
N.B. The famous Sandy Lane golf courses are located on both sides of Norwoods and Molyneux, below Bennetts/Arch Hal and above Dairy Meadows. Also, the wall just beyond the Lawrence Johnson Roundabout on the RMH is that of St. Thomas Parish Church and the entrance to the Portvale Sugar Factory can be seen on the right of the highway just before the roundabout.
Filmed in the parishes of St. James and St. Thomas.

    I was born in St Michael's.. I leave there in 75.. I wonder what Jessamine ave and beckles rd looks like. I used to walk to Bay Primary school. There used to be this big windmill behind my house separated by this huge wall. To the left of that wall was a galvanized fence with two big dogs. My friends and I would put sticks under the fence and try to hold them while the dogs would pull like crazy.. 😂 and every time we would play cricket and the ball went over the fence we would climb the fence and take our chance getting that ball back... 😂😂😂.. that ball took time to make man..

      Chalky Mount Primary was closed in 2013 due to structural issues with the building which was subsequently demolished as a result. I suspect land slippage may have had something to do with that. The area to the left shown at around 7:11 is where the school once stood.
