Brenda, Do you know where the Tamarind Tree is by the Courts Sound Specialist Panyard? It is right under the tree on the Eastern Main Road. The Tamarind Tree is also a National Landmark. It is in the area of the Citrus Growers Association just before the Beetham Flyover as you enter the City.

Brunswick was changed to Woodford in 1917 The first Afro & Indo Trinbagoians were nominated into the TRINIDAD & TOBAGO GOVERNMENT in 1904 &1912 respectively. Their given names were Cyrus David and George Fitzpatrick Dr. Eric Williams is a 6th generation of the Boissieres' who migrated from France in the 1780's My favourite is the meaning of Laventille.
