Just a quick intro as to why we migrated to Barbados due to post economic conditions in Guyana. again I was very young so I could only go off of what my mother told me as a child. All I know for sure is that she wouldn't have left Guyana unless it was essential to our well being and growth as individuals. She her self goes back from time to time but U have never been back since but I've already had plans to go back whenever I am able to because I heard its very beautiful indeed!

Part of the collection of the Unst Community Museum. For many hundreds of years Unst has been in the midst of one of the richest fishing grounds in the world. The small wooden boats fished for cod and ling which were cleaned, split, salted and dried on the stony beaches. The dried fish were then shipped abroad in massive quantities. Boats like the sixereen ‘FAR HAAF’ were capable of fishing thirty miles off shore., while sturdy fourereens fished nearer the coast. With the onset of sudden storms there were disastrous results.

Tradional Shetland farmsteads had outbuildings connected to the house, so people could go through to the byre to tend to the cattle, even in the strongest winter gale. For centuries light came from fish-oil lamps. Once imported glass became common around 1800, people used candle lanterns because they protected the flame from draughts.

Cuthbert Gordon Greenidge was born in Barbados and like many Caribbean families in the late 50’s and 60’s migrated to the UK to seek a better life. Educated at Speightstown Boys School and Black Bess Boys School in Barbados, he continued his education at Alfred Sutton Boys in Reading, and later Clarendon College in Nottingham, where he developed a love for cricket, a game for which he would later become world famous. He had the opportunity to display his cricket prowess playing in Reading, Berkshire and Hampshire and the England Boys School benefitted from his cricket skills. Even though he represented Barbados and the West Indies in cricket, he was still able to make a meaningful contribution to his adopted homeland of the United Kingdom. Whilst still an apprentice at Hampshire, he represented three different clubs playing on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. He was also privileged to play League Cricket for Leyland in the Lancashire League, playing 19 years for one club. Not only has he been a player but he also conducted Cricket Coaching Clinics at several places, including Nottingham High School and Merchant Taylor’s School. Schools in Scotland have also benefitted from his skills when playing for the club Greenock, which he also represented at the National Level. He continues to be involved in fund raising programmes for clubs and schools throughout the UK.
C.L.R. James, in full Cyril Lionel Robert James, (born Jan. 4, 1901, Tunapuna, Trinidad — died May 31, 1989, London, Eng.), was a West Indian-born cultural historian, cricket writer, and political activist who was a leading figure in the Pan-African movement. James was certified as a teacher at Queen’s Royal College in Port of Spain, Trinidad (1918). In 1932 he moved to England, where he published The Life of Captain Cipriani (1932; revised as The Case for West-Indian Self-Government, 1933) with the personal and financial support of the West Indian cricketer and politician Learie (later Lord) Constantine. During the 1930s James was a cricket correspondent for The Guardian (Manchester) and became increasingly involved in Marxist politics and the African and West Indian independence movements. His most notable work was The Black Jacobins (1938), a Marxist study of the Haitian slave revolution of the 1790s, which won him widespread acclaim. James left England to live in the United States (1939–53), but he was expelled for political reasons. He was interned at Ellis Island in New York City, where he wrote an analysis of Herman Melville’s Moby Dick called Mariners, Renegades, and Castaways (1953). Thereafter he moved between London and Trinidad, where he was secretary of the West Indies Federal Labour Party (1958–60). In Beyond a Boundary (1963) James discussed the importance of cricket to the British character and to the development of the West Indies. His other books included the novel Minty Alley (1936), World Revolution (1937), Notes on Dialectics (1971), Nkrumah and the Ghana Revolution (1977), and Cricket (1986), a collection of articles spanning the period 1935 to 1985.

This lucerne represents a dove that, for the Islamic world, does not have an iconoclastic or religious value as in Coptic or Byzantine art, but was used for its aesthetic value in all types of objects. Despite the differences regarding other Islamic metallic lamps, this specimen shows us certain formal, decorative and technical characteristics that link it to near-eastern productions from the 10th to the 13th centuries; the representation of a bird is also known in bronze incense burners and vases from Anatolia, Iran, Afghanistan, Syria or Egypt from the 11th - 12th centuries.
Caribbean Migrants contribution to British Music Culture
Anyone who felt that the British Parliament was the preserve of those who wield political power, now stands corrected. For one night only the control of the UK Parliament was handed over to Barbadian-British DJ Carl Cox to lead members in a disorderly session. The British Parliament invited the veteran house DJ to headline a charity bash. “House The House” by the Last Night A DJ Saved My Life Foundation. The event, a competition focused on engaging young people to support children in conflict zones, took place on the 11th of May 2016 at the Westminster Palace. The “House The House” event is open to aspiring DJs between the ages of 14 to 24, who raise funds for the charity and submit their own music mixes for the chance to open the event for the DJ legend. Other prizes include DJ equipment and the chance to see Carl Cox perform in Ibiza. Described as a musical ambassador and one of the most charming DJs in the business, few persons, including many Barbadians are aware that Carl Cox has roots in Barbadian soil. Born in Manchester, at the age of 15 Carl bought a set of turntables and began working as a Disco DJ. By the early 80s, he had joined the ranks of other young London DJs playing groove, hip-hop and electro, but by the late 80s had distinguished himself with his own sound ‘Phuture track’. When Cox’s 1991 debut single ‘I Want You.’ became a hit, including a Top of the Pops appearance, his career took off. Now the owner of 2 labels, with 4 albums to his credit and more than 900, 000 Facebook followers, this veteran of 30+ years in the music business has achieved much. He has played all over the world, including to a crowd of 1, 400, 000 in Duisburg Germany. DJ Magazine ranked him as the Number One DJ in the World in 1996 and 1997, and he is included on the top 100 list of best Glastonbury performances ever. Now in his mid-50s. Cox is planning to take it more slowly. having announced that 2016 was his 15th and last season as resident DJ at Space. Space, an Ibiza nightclub with a capacity for 10, 000 patrons, has 13 times been awarded “Best Global Club” at the US International Dance Music Awards.

The Carnival in the Dominican Republic is a Dominican celebration that takes place throughout February; although some Dominicans (rarely) celebrate it during Holy Week in March. [1] Dominicans are usually most festive on February 27th, which is the Dominican Independence Day. In Santo Domingo, celebrations include a large military display with the Dominican air force, navy, and army. Festivities often include the wearing of colorful costumes that symbolize Dominican religious and traditional characters such as Calife, Guloya, and Diablo Cojuelo. Festivities take place all over the island, with each town adding its own twist to the celebration.
When the carnival begins in Santiago de Cuba, the whole city turns into one big party! The carnival of Santiago de Cuba is the largest, most famous, and most traditional carnival in all of Cuba, and is an explosion of colour, contagious drum rhythms, and dance. It is also a time for Cubans to re-gather themselves and remember their history, community, and culture, and is often punctuated by the Cuban national holiday of July 26th.

The book won the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award. Crossing the River (1993) won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize (for fiction) and was shortlisted for the Booker Prize for Fiction. Phillips' non-fiction includes a travel narrative, The European Tribe (1987), winner of the Martin Luther King Memorial Prize, and The Atlantic Sound (2000), an account of a journey he made to three vital hubs of the Atlantic slave trade: Liverpool in England, Elmina on the west coast of Ghana, and Charleston in the American South. A New World Order: Selected Essays was published in 2001, and A Distant Shore in 2003, the latter being an exploration of isolation and consolation in an English village.

Cecil Archibald Baugh, Jamaican potter (born Nov. 22, 1908, Bangor Ridge, Jam.—died June 28, 2005, Kingston, Jam.), was one of the most influential Caribbean potters of the 20th century and was renowned for works that showcased his artistry and technical creativity. During his adolescent years he was given the task to take food for his brother at Long Mountain Road (now Mountain View Avenue. It was here that he was first exposed to the ancient art of pottery. Young Cecil Baugh watched the women who made and fired the yabbah bowls which were produced by a technique which survived from the days of slavery itself, and was of African origin. His first efforts were limited to ‘dollyhouse’ items including little clay tables and chairs, which brought him earnings of three shillings a week on average. He soon ‘graduated’ into making flower pots and yabbahs. He increased his earnings but more importantly, fuelled the fires of his ambition. He was about 25 years old in 1933 when an incident occurred bringing a new dimension to his work and changing the face of ceramics. One night while firing his day’s work he noticed fire escaping through the top of his rude kiln. Not wanting the temperature to drop he quickly grabbed the nearest thing he could find to cover it. It was a sheet of copper. As the copper became increasingly hot, he saw a flame coming from it. It was not orange-red as he was used to, but turquoise. As it licked at the night Cecil Baugh thought it was the prettiest colour he had ever seen, and he thought about capturing that colour in his work. Having no formal education in chemistry he quite often did not get the colours he tried for, but whatever came out was new to Jamaicans and he sold all he could make In 1941, in response to a newspaper advertisement Cecil Baugh enlisted in the Royal Engineers of the British Army. He kept in close touch with his art, but because of World War II, work in ceramics was at a minimum. He claimed that in 1942 his Division was sent to Cairo and it was there that he saw the Persian Blue, a colour quite similar to what he had got using copper oxide and glass in Jamaica. He was greatly encouraged. Cecil wanted to know everything there was to know about ceramics to enhance his teaching skills upon returning to Jamaica. When he returned to Jamaica in 1946 he was not satisfied with the extent of his knowledge. He wanted to return to England to study under the most respected figure in ceramics in the Western world, Bernard Leach. However, no scholarships were available and when contacted, Leach said he had no time for beginners. Cecil remained undaunted, went to England to study with another ceramist, and would not rest until he managed to secure a one-year term under the guidance of Bernard Leach who was regarded as the ‘Father of British Studio Pottery’. It was the beginning of a friendship, which lasted throughout the years. He returned to Jamaica in 1949 and in 1950 mounted his first one-man exhibition. Soon after with Albert Huie, Linden Leslie, Jerry Isaacs and Edna Manley formed the Jamaica School of Art. Cecil Baugh was the last to leave the institution when he retired in 1975. In 1991 the National Gallery opened a ceramics gallery bearing his name, and in 2003 he received the Order of Jamaica.

Claudia Jones, feminist, black nationalist, political activist, community leader, communist and journalist, has been described as the mother of the Notting Hill Carnival. The diversity of her political affiliations clearly illustrated her multifaceted approach to the struggle for equal rights in the 20th century. She was born in Belmont, Port-of-Spain, Trinidad in 1915 and at the age of eight moved to Harlem, New York with her parents and three sisters. Her education was cut short by Tuberculosis and the damage to her lungs as well as severe heart disease plagued Claudia for the rest of her life. For over 30 years she lived in New York and during this time became an active member of the American Communist party, an organisation in which her journalistic and community leadership skills were maximised. By 1948 she had become the editor of Negro Affairs for the party's paper the Daily Worker and had evolved into an accomplished speaker on human and civil rights. In 1955 she was deported from the US and given asylum in England, where she spent her remaining years working with London's African-Caribbean community. She founded and edited The West Indian Gazette which despite financial problems remained crucial in her fight for equal opportunities for black people.

From her modest beginnings as a singer in English dance halls, Cleo Laine has gone on to achieve international fame by continually expanding her talents in a career which spans some four decades. She is one of the most celebrated singers of our time. Cleo commands a dazzling array of vocal styles and is the only singer ever to receive Grammy nominations in the Female Jazz, Popular, and Classical categories. Laine began her musical career in the early 50's in her native England, where she was born in a London suburb. Cleo showed early singing talent which was nurtured by her Jamaican father and English mother who sent her to singing and dancing lessons. In addition to concert appearances, Cleo has carved a niche as an illustrious actress. Laine's professional career in the legitimate theatre began in London when she starred in Flesh to a Tiger, directed by Tony Richardson at the Royal Court Theatre. Her theatrical credits include A Midsummer Night 's Dream, Valmouth, Women of Troy and the title role in Ibsen's Hedda Gabler. In 1983 Cleo became the first British artist to win a coveted Grammy award - Best Female Jazz Vocalist, for the third of her "live" Carnegie Hall albums, all recorded at the famous New York auditorium. She has been a frequent guest on American television including such specials as "An Evening at the Boston Pops with Cleo Laine" and "Cleo Laine: Live at Wolftrap". In addition to her numerous international television specials, she has also been a featured performer on the classic British television show 'That Was The Week That Was". In addition to receiving an honorary Doctor of Music degree from Boston's prestigious Berklee School of Music and being named, along with her husband John Dankworth, the Variety Club's "Show Business Personality of the Year," Cleo Laine was honoured by Queen Elizabeth with an O.B.E. The beginning of this decade has already brought Cleo new acclaim with a Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award presented by the National Association of Recording Merchandisers (NARM), and a Lifetime Achievement Accolade from the British Jazz Awards in 1996. Whether interpreting a collection of Shakespeare's sonnets set to music, appearing in Jazz Festivals, operas, or singing with Symphony orchestras and big bands, Cleo Laine is consistently finding new forums for her considerable range of talents.

Corncrake birds lived in Shetland for thousands of years, nesting in cornfields. However, they have nearly disappered from the islands for over thirty years. People had come to use imported food and animal fodder, so farmers stopped growing oats and barley, and the corncrake’s habitat vanished. Trade & Industry gallery NAT 2007.22

The uniform belonged to 2nd Lieutenant Thomas William Deeves MC, who served in the 16th (Public School) Battalion, the Middlesex Regiment. Deeves received the Military Cross with bar (basically: two military crosses!) for his gallantry on two separate occasions on the 20th and 30th of November 1917. On the 30th he was so badly injured by airplane machine gun fire that he was left for dead in a farmhouse; two days later, as he was taken away to be buried, someone checked his pulse and found he was still - barely - alive. After several days on a No Hope Ward in a military hospital, doctors began to treat him. Two and a half years later, after over 30 operations, he requested to have his left arm amputated. The red triangles on his uniform sleeves are wound stripes, showing that he had previously been injured. Walter would have worn a similar jacket as he was on active service in the 17th and 23rd Middlesex Regiments. Walter took part in a football tournament between the Sportsmen’s and Public Schools’ Battalions whilst training in July 1915. Deeves was also training in the same camps as Walter. They were at Perham Down in summer and autumn 1915. Deeves left Folkestone for Boulogne on 17 November 1915 and Walter on 18, the day after. They were also in the same Battalion at the same time: Walter was in the 5th Battalion between 30 May and 4 August 1917 and Deeves joins the 5th Battalion (a reserve officer’s Battalion before being posted to the Front) on 27 June 1917 after recuperating from a shrapnel wound.

The visit to this operational distillery is essentially a tour of the estate, both by foot and on a small train. The walk is self-guided, following a map with descriptions of 11 points. It begins with the mill where sugar cane is being crushed, past a water wheel, the distillation column, the fermentation vats and the store house. A small Jardin Creole leads to the great house. After the family moved out, this house was a restaurant for a while. Recently it was opened to the public as a period-style museum that you can explore freely. The trail leads on to a reconstructed 1950s worker’s house which is wallpapered with magazines and filled with antiques. The train ride takes about 40 minutes, leading beyond the main grounds of the estate to the sugar cane fields, the pineapple plantation and into the landscape. An audio recording tells the history of the island, the production process of sugar and rum and the family history.
