    Wow! Thank you for sharing. Thats my mum and dad at 0:17! Quite a surprise to see them - and I bet they've never seen this footage. Amazing to stumble across this while searching for the history of Penal Power Station where my father worked. So stoked!

      Hi Mark
      I to was bought up in Shell camp Penal. Have many fond memories of growing up swimming in the Dam, driving the tractor on golf course. Dad John Torry worked for Shell until we left Trinidad in 1970 for Australia. I still love my birthplace sweet T&T.

    @rinpoche256 When we left, my Dad arranged employment for our yard boy with another gentleman from the oilfields. When that fellow left Trinidad years later, he arranged for Lal to take employment with New Kendall Dairies in Palo Seco. Lal remained devoted to our family until he died in 2002.

      Really ??? But there is a lot of dunce UNC racist supporters only because Indians are desperate for power again so they could empty the treasury once more and a dunce Indian PM who only interested in flying in chopper and wasting tax payers money, among other things. Doh vex d blank man is PM again 😅

    The days when the local whites as we refer to them had all the money due to the weath their ancestors accumulated from slavery & indentureship. Nevertheless this is a nice video.❤️

      Why the government chose to strike a bargain and never redistribute this wealth in the country then.
