Historical Jamaica

Harmony Hall 

"Harmony Hall was acquired in 1980 by Annabella Proudlock, who, with a group of friends, spent a year restoring the mid-19th century Methodist manse to its original glory.

Promoting excellence in, and broadening the appreciation of Jamaican art and craft was the principal motivation for opening the gallery in the popular resort area of Ocho Rios, since then, it has received international acclaim.

With over 100 of Jamaica's finest artists and artisans represented, the art ranges from naive to highly sophisticated.

We are located 4 miles east of Ocho Rios, on the North Coast Highway."

Rio Nuevo Battle Site 

"On 25 June, D'Oyley mustered a total of 700 soldiers and militia and ten ships to transport them. The English troops disembarked near the Rio Nuevo. The English then captured the Spanish transports, sealing off any escape for the invaders. The Spanish, seeing this, attempted to make a stand behind their newly fortified redoubt.[2] The English declined to come to grips and fired on the Spanish position with cannon and firelocks for two days.[3] Their superior firepower had a devastating effect and the surviving Spanish attempted to break out; however most were killed or captured. What was left of the invasion force fled into the hills and jungle. They had lost over 300 dead and wounded, mostly killed, and 150 prisoners, as well as eleven flags, six guns, and most of their arms and ammunition. English casualties numbered around sixty. Most of the wounded on both sides did not survive, due to tropical diseases."
