GROUP PURPOSE
St. Ann's Bay is central to the history of Jamaica. It is a mile or so from Sevilla Nueva, the first Spanish capital, built c. 1500. It had handsome British Colonial (mostly 19th cent.) buildings that have not been preserved. It has come upon hard times economically.

Restoring St Anns Bay sounds like a mammoth task, as evolution has changed its face to what it is now, With the Departure of the British in 1962 a new wave of thought entered in to the running of St Anns Bay.

ST ANN'S BAY COURTHOUSE
St. Ann's Bay, the capital of St. Ann parish is best known as Jamaica's first capital city which Christopher Columbus established as Seville, in 1494.
Today, a visit to St. Ann's Bay is a step back in time as it's dotted with many historic sites that are preserved. Among these sites, the St. Ann's Bay Courthouse stands prominently in the town.
Prior to its construction in 1860, the courthouse and parish church shared the same building, symbolizing a close alliance between the plantocracy and the established church. This alliance manifested in the creation of the infamous Colonial Church Union in the 1830s which was committed to the persecution of dissenting missionairies in the parish such as the Baptists and the Methodists.

The hope for this group is to focus on the central town of St. Ann's Bay, with readers contributing memories, thoughts, anecdotes, photos, etc.. It would be welcome to hear about people who live or lived there, including seeing photos of them and/or their homes. A major purpose of the group is to share ideas on how to preserve what is left of the town's colonial heritage.
Courtesy and civility will be appreciated.
