It's like the 60's were just oblivious to themselves. I went to Barbados in 93 and wow, what a gorgeous paradise. Definitely has changed a ton
Much has changed since 93
I think things have only degraded since the 1960s.
This video is beautiful. The quality of the camera and the idea to show so much is indeed beautiful. Thanks for showing this video
A lot of my good friends especially John Hamilton. My wife worked as his secretary for a number of years. Then there was Willie Alleyne our famous photographer and Peter Morgan as Minister of Tourism and owner of the St Lawrence hotel. These were great times.
Wow, this small film, made me feel so special to be a Barbadian. Man, this little has changed sooooo much.
Still there is nothing or nowhere like my island in the Sun.
Great video ! Plenty Trini-ness too. 👍🏻 ..What ever would we do without each other !! 🇧🇧 🇹🇹
So true love my Caribbean people
Oooh thanks for this, the old airport! And a look back.
I see a lot of my friends playing cricket at Wanderers Cricket grounds where I played cricket and football. David Allen. Prof Edwards bowling and Ian Dowding batting bring back wonderful memories.
Those are racist clubs.
This should be mandatory viewing for all Barbadians under the age of 70. ALL.
Very informative
Wow..
Wow. Amazing how much has changed. Don’t even recognize the island in this video. 😅
I saw the Cranes, Foul Bay and the Old Sam Lords Castle.
this opening monologue is xrazy
Lived in Barbados in the mid 80s..what a time 😌...btw what place is that at 27:50 where the people are staying? Anyone know? Cheers
With that turbulent ocean, definitely the East coast. I'd guess the old Crane hotel in St Philip?
Yes I know the east coast..just wonder what hotel..I don't think the Crane Beach hotel
I didn’t know yht people were there in the 60s and mixing in the schools
Knew it was Alfred pragnell
Omg I knew that voice was familiar
Lol this looks so weird , the only place that i was able to still make out was the garrison , certain parts of town looks about the same 😂😂 I must say this is the most white people I have seen in bim , the old days were different damn and loool @the flying fish pie wdr 😂😂
Tax free holidays..... Where have we heard this before?
I am of Bajan descent and have lived there is well. Thank God it has changed, this is so white washed, but I am guessing that this was catering to a specific tourist market.
What an unfortunate comment that spoiled and otherwise good video and comment section. By the way I'm black.
@@caribbeansimmer7894 Dw they are mentally enslaved for eternity
@@caribbeansimmer7894Did he tell a lie?
@@kebablevy3187 clearly you've missed the point.
@@caribbeansimmer7894 As always we all have our own opinions that we are entitled to. I am of mixed heritage.
Nidhe israel synagogue in Bridgetown.
One of the oldest synagogues in the Americas, standing since 1654, restored and used by the none human community in Barbados to this day.
Book reference:
Barbados the first israel by Hutchinson.
And just WHO or WHAT is the "none human community?

CHANGE THE TITLE TO REFLECT STORY!!! 60s Tourism
They conveniently missed out how the slaves/people were living and life wasn't happy for the majority under British rule.
This is bs Barbados was fully loyal to the British empire and it showed so in ww1 and ww2 and I'm from Barbados go do your research before jumping to nonsense conclusion also I lived in Barbados and my family lived on British saint Lucia before it became independent my mum lived on it too when it was a colony too
@@kidgaminggaming5731 Typical old school bajan mentality......good servant for the master, little England🙄.....my grandmother told me about life in St John in the 40s and life wasn't great. The loyalty you talk about is because they grew up under colonialism and were practically taught to be thankful they were slaves. I thank Jamaica 🇯🇲 for changing that giving me freedom rather than the whip.
@@equinox95 LMFAO okay buddy explain all the Barbadians who willingly fought in bother world wars for the British empire my guy and you say slavery this slavery that but yet England still gives Barbados aid money TO THIS DAY and the rest of the former British Caribbean you're a bozo bro servants bro is funny barbados wasnt even inhabited by anyone before the English came and when the English DID ARRIVE majority of the original colonists were white mostly Irish indentured servants before the Africans arrived which is where the Bajan accent partially came from but I bet you didn't know that
@@kidgaminggaming5731 Barbados removed the Queen from head of state with majority support in Barbados. The UK does not send Barbados aid I live in London. The men who fought in both wars were colonial people who saw the king/Queen as God and England as heaven 🤣.....ask the people there now how many will fight for England and the Queen and wait for the response🤬. Some of us don't want to be little England little slaves anymore, although I can see there are still a few going around 🤔.
@@equinox95 little slaves? considering england was the first european power to get rid of slavery and even forced other coutnries to abolish it themselves but okay keep coping ignorant lad
