- THE ABANDONED IPSWICH TUNNEL IN ST ELIZABETH
Having visited several old railway stations and explored the tunnels associated with each station...It is very sad to see that these former railway stations are all in various stages of collapse! Nonetheless, if I should single one out out, that could easily be restored to its former glory....it would have to be the Ipswich station.. The building itself is of Georgian architecture and could easily be restored, if there were enough interest in restoring the station building at least.

I grew up in this little district of Ipswich. My mother was the Post Mistress. I was always hopping the train. Went to the caves and was always walking through the tunnel. Great times!
Awesome video, been to Ipswich once with with my best friend who was born there we were both in our early twenties at the time. Her uncle cooked us wrenta yam and smoked fried tripe one of the best meals I ever had. She is living in Canada. Couldn't resist sharing the video with her. Back then the trains were in operation, we traveled from Montego bay on the 3:30PM Diesel. Wonderful memories 😊🇯🇲🇺🇲
Hi Elite J.A.
It was so good of you to go into my mother's birthplace.
Most of the people you spoke to in Ipswich are my family and a lot of the commentators are also my family.
They are commenting from places all over the world.
We love this part of St Elizabeth(my middle name) we spent every summer there my siblings and I, frolicking with my cousins and spending time with our grandparents.
My male cousins and brothers have gone through that tunnel many times, I have even ran through it with them(I was afraid the train would meet us in there) my cousins were wiser, they knew the schedule😅.
I have not visited Ipswich for years because on my last visit I had such a bad case of motion sickness because of the road, I dare not try it again.
I miss there thou, because of my cherish memories.
I personally could not understand why the government did not find some simple vehicle that could have traverse on the tracks between 2 or 3 stations allowing people who lived in areas, especially like Ipswich, to uses to get to their homes.
This has cause the lost of family agricultural land in these areas that had produced vast amount of produce in the past allowing families to have an income and continue living on the farm's.
I was also surprise that my ingenious Jamaicam themselves did not come up with such a vehicle and not allowed the tracks to become so overrun with bushes.
I am still waiting for government official to Remembrr that all Jamaica is "🎶MyJamaica🎶.
No exclusion when it come to care and upkeep.
Elaine saying Hi, from Canada.
I'm always excited to see your posts...I hope you stay encouraged and continue to educate us on these hidden sites 🙏
Thank you for watching
What a refreshing page. History of Jamaica in a unique way. Respect brother.
RASPECT TO U my brother thanks for your posting this VIDEO so at least our people can see n wonder why is it our successive governments have no VISION to have these things even as some kind of tourist attraction. BLESSED LOVE
Thank you for this video, my father is from Ginger hill & passed away 4 years ago. So it was very emotional for me seeing & remembering things he told me.
~ Peace & Love ~
Hey I just found you on RUclips as I was searching St Thomas my home town and you have a very interesting video about the lost community mount vernon and I absolutely love it!!!!
This is the land of my grandfather who pass away in 1977. He was the postmaster at the train station. I am paying the taxes for the land he left behind on behalf of my mother. A land no one has access to. It's a forgotten place. I have had the opportunity
to speak to the PM Mr. Holiness about this place and he had promised to look into it. I would love to travel to Jamaica and visit but because of the road situation I cannot. Thank you for highlighting Ipswich .
Thank you so much for watching
Wow, must be nastalgic moments for you
@@albertlewis627 it sure was.
As a boy took train many times anchovy to Kingston. Anchovy to Stonehenge.
Stonehenge station is still in good condition.
The bird carvers used to sell to the Appleton tourist train
I was going to tell him stonehenge station is In good condition too
I was so excited to see this video I’m from stonehenge I use to take the train enjoy going through those Tunnel
Hey Alex,how are you.I haven't seen a post in a while. Hope all is well. 🙏🏽🕊💜Thank you for that tour. You needed head lamps for tunnel. Thanks again and stay blessed 🙌 😇
Hi, guys, good to see you again! Will watch this week. Keep up the good work! Love and respect!
Really enjoy learning about the historical site. Thanks Alex
Another interesting information well 👍appreciated.
Thanks for sharing. Next time feature Stonehenge the railway station next to Ipswich. As a child the train was the major mode of transportation. Every station had. Vendors coming on selling different goodies. Great memories❤️❤️❤️
Creativity and craftsmanship! The 👍👏
That’s not salt it’s mycelium. great video by the way, there’s a lot of people interested in railway history and would enjoy watching more content like this, I would personally like to see more historical places in st Elizabeth if that’s possible
What about the Caves of Jamaica? The Rosehall starts with one ending about thirteen miles from the Great house to I think ending at the Saint James Parish Church ,used by the white witch for her journey to church
Ok
My sister just shared this video with me. This is my community when I was a little girl. A few of the gentlemen in this video I knew when I was a child. I use to take the train to Montego and also to Kingston. It’s sad to see how it is now I had wonderful memories there especially running through that tunnel because you don’t want the train catch you underneath tunnel❤
As a child I ran through the tunnel also but because I did not want to be under there too long for duppy to catch me!
I rode through this tunnel when I was 8 9 10 yrs old those were good days and exciting memories
I've never been under a tunnel since the train stop running. I was born and grown in the nearby community of merrywood
Ipswich is where I grew up it’s a beautiful place in my opinion, at the moment I live London but Ipswich is always in my heart I just Love the place, you were talking to a man who names is Yapp he is my cousin, growing up as kids the tunnels we used to always play in them of course, we used to get out when we hear the trains coming
Dat is it, my brother ALEXX, excellent i love the vibes my fam honestly, THANKS for the experience i have learn a lot . and i really love my history THANKS MY FAM RESPECT 💯🔯💯
Nufflove and Raspec Godking fi dis, sumting new fimi to knw nuff Guide king.💯🇯🇲🇨🇦❤🙌🏾
Well done King. Hope you did not get sick as you were concerned about. You are brave but if no-one ventured, how would we learn, right? How would we me informed about so many things? Obviously, it is not top priority for the officials in charge. I am particularly elated by this presentation as I have family rooted in Ipswich and I had the opportunity to ride the train. There are mixed feeling to look at what individuals must have endured back then in building all of that and how skilled they were. I liked the way you hailed up the people of the community, included them and even promoted them. That's awesome. Shoutout to Mr. Yapp. I must have overlooked your name. But keep doing what you are doing. Bless up.
Big up ginger hill st best ❤
I live in St Ann and I am 55 I never get to ride the train. Wish I had gotten a chance thanks for this video
Blessings for this video brother,real cultured
Great me born a Jamaica and don’t kown these places 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
I can never put into word how much I appreciate your work seeing the train line through these places which I traveled so often from catadupa St James to Kingston I was always wonder what happened to the train lines thank you.
I would really love if someone could take the initiative to refurbish these train lines and bring back railway services in Jamaica! That was my dependable mode of transport to & from work in Kingston five days per week in the 80s and probably early 90s!
Good post bro' very good to know the history. As they say you need to know where you are coming from to better appreciate things around you. It is a shame that Jamaican authorities do not preserve these historical structures.. They could be good tourist attractions. As the saying goes "if the leaders have no vision, the people will perish."
Thank you Alex another informative and exciting trek. Long time mon.
That beautiful Jamaica 🇯🇲 I am from Manchester
You are doing a very good job. I didn't no train run in St Elizabeth
Ratid look wae mi used to walk go a river 5× a day ,bless up my elite 👌
Upppp Reminiscing of those days riding on the train and the desel as kids with my parents visiting my Grandparents in Westmoreland, Those were the good old days ,we use to pass through these tunnel's.
I can hear water running. Thanks for bringing such great videos
I remembered that tunnel it's long. I remembered going through it with a family member from St Elizabeth to Porus dam you took back down to memory lane and yes it's dark.. I screamed going through there.
You bought back memories, I remember riding on the train from Ipswich to the last stop, where we disembark. Thanks for this, I l was only 8 years old.
Big up jon
Thanks for doing these types of videos. Like you I wonder why all these amazing places are left to deteriorate like this. These are places where tourists could be taken and provide earnings for the local community. Come on mayors in these communities do something for the people. Create opportunities for the young people to earn a living and continue to build their country.
Thank you
Love your narration of Ipswich. Truly a historic place, that has been abandoned. I do hope that the road and railroad there fix and restore, so that tourist can traverse as in the pass. I'm from that community, you brought back memories. I had the opportunity to travel through the tunnel a couple of times to an adjacent community, Breadnut Walk. Hope to see your visit to the Ipswich Cave.
Truly inspirational so much lost history in Jamaica, would love to partake in one of those tour.
This is awesome. I'm gonna go there next week. By the way I'm seeing on maps where there is another tunnel nearby called Highworth and one near Breadnut Hill
Yes I heard about that one while doing this
@@EliteJamaica Great
My Grandfather’s house was just across the train line opposite the Ipswich train station
I use to visit there with my mother as a young girl my grandfather was call mr Blake
Thank u 🙏
Travel through this tunnel countless times from old harbour to montego bay
bat guano is $10 US per pound on amazon-- just saying-- sometimes people don't see the diamonds in their back yard. Great organic fertilizer.
Awsome documentary and very good footage. Thanks for the details as I knew of the area but never guessed it is so historic. . I wonder where the source of the water is. 👍 water
The train lines are in neglect because that type of transport is no longer in use, sad to say! It's a SHAME that these historical sites have not been preserved especially, knowing that Jamaica was the first country in the hemisphere to have trains!
Another amazing trip. These are very educational. Thank You!
Thank you for watching
1:46 is the exploration licence Geophysx Jamaica Limited a local mineral exploration company. So that marks one corner of their boundary.
