This next pic is 12 days after Hurricane Gilbert.
Taken at the crossroad up in Red Ground where Raggabones is located.
Raggabones would be to the left (not in view) while looking down toward
Fish World and the old Shell Station at the bottom of the hill...

Anyone out there remember Honey's?

I stayed in Red Ground on my first three Negril adventures, Twice with Arthur Campbell and his wife Jo and the third was with a gentleman named Renford and his wife whose name escapes me. From your pic taken looking down the hill, it appears to be just about in the area of Renford's. The Campbell's home was lower on the hill just behind the church which was much smaller then. Also, Arthur's father had a small restaurant on the opposite corner from the Shell station. I know I'm rambling a bit but seeing these great old photos just opened up a flood of memories, thanks for posting. I attached a pic. from 1971 before the cars disrupted feeding time.
Thanks for the pics!
Rob was there during Hurricane Gilbert and always mentions how you could sadly "see clear through Negril after"...
I understand that Gilbert mash up all of JA. Lot's of damage!! Too bad!!!
These photos were 1978-80 in Negril.

Awesome photos! Keep em coming!
Those pictures bring back such good memories. Yes the streets were empty.. and when we first came we stayed twice (2 weeks each) in Red ground at Hilltop view cottage. We came in 79 and stayed at the Villa's (remember the pool) we had our 1 yr old with us...peaceful, quiet, you could be by yourself on the beach for hours. We didnt come back until 2005 and have been coming back every year since...
Love the goats in this picture. Is that, by any chance a McDonald's on the left? It looks like a McDo building ....?????Quote:
