Trinidad & Tobago, W.I. - ....The fish broth story is connected to Invaders, which had a legendary musical rivalry with All Stars in the 1950s and 1960s.
Invaders have been present at their Tragarete Road location since 1941. There were disputes between the owner of the land and Invaders, which focused on Vernon Mannette—a member the famous Mannette family who occupied an apartment on the land. Francis Wickham and Kelvin Dove, also lived with their parents in apartments on the land.
....The precise address of Invaders yard is 147 Tragarete Road. It was declared a heritage site but their occupation only finally settled down when Invaders were able to obtain a lease of that land last month.

It was also reported that Shell Trinidad and Tobago Limited (Shell) has been instrumental in assisting with obtaining the land next door to number 147, (numbers 149-151), for Invaders’ use and expansion.
