Guyana In the early years




 I observe the cars of the day- Morris Minor, Austin Cambridge, Morris Oxford, Hillman Minx


* I note the Bookers Sports Dept Store to the left and opposite it.......Bettencourt’s. Stabroek Market’s clock tower in the background

* To the left as well seems to be a cyclist dressed in the uniform of a then Bookers Store guard


                                  Two of the blue Bedford buses which plied the East Bank route




* Princess Yasmin-this one plied the East Coast corridor. Note the wooden tray on the roof of the bus on which are written the words: "Cane Grove & Mahaica Express". This tray was used for transporting the "load" of the passengers


* To the left of the picture, the north eastern section of the Marine Wing of the British Guiana Police Force building is barely visible.

* These buses are parked in an area that was known as " Donkey City "; so named because it was the assembly point of dray and donkey carts which were hired for transportation of goods and building material around the city






* Note the prominence of the bicycle which is in stark contrast to the present day vehicular congestion which is a feature of life around that Fogarty's, Robb and Water Street junction.


* I think the shirt and tie are back now.




* Wow! A carrier bike on which grocery and baker shop bread deliveries were made..wow!


* A suspended street lamp hanging in the centre of the Camp and Regent Street intersection, no longer a feature of the landscape of the city.

* Yong Hing's supermarket(among the first in GT of the late 1950's) and on the opposite side(not evident in the picture.) was Kwang Hing's supermarket

* I detect a Bedford van and the back of a Vauxhall Cresta car- for which Central Garage on High Street was the sole distributor.

* Remember those straw hats.

* The Vauxhall is in the intersection on the amber light. I wonder if he got a ticket from the traffic camera.



HC 300- a Ford Zephyr car( or Zodiac-can't be sure) being driven south along Water Street, west of the Legco/National Assembly (now Parliament building).The Fords were sold by Geddes Grant on Main Street ..that was where Courts now is.



* Camp and Murray Streets (now Quamina) intersection


* Yes......the ubiquitous donkey (as opposed to dray) cart of the day

* When I looked up to the top right section of the picture, I see a fluorescent type street light fitting (as opposed to the incandescent bulbs) that was a peculiar feature of the street lighting along Camp Street in those days.
