Look and there's the salmon tree by the savannah. i think its so amusing to see these wonderful sights evolve into how it is today. I wish we really had back the train system thou

I remember my father said he rode the train from Rio Claro /Tabaquite to POS.... It was kinda fast....Three hours

Wow this thing is huge. i never knew that it had one in tabaquite. In longdenville it have many train tracks that you can see. I also have one whole street that still have the tracks and they people name it Train Line Street. My grandmother used to tell me stories of the long time days and with her memories it used to be so fascinating to listen to.

I'm disappointed with myself for not knowing enough of my history. I mean I could name like twenty nightclubs and fete houses but only one or two historically significant sites.. and I dont even party. lol.

 

[LadyDeath]

I know alot of them because i was forced to know them lol . I love historical sites because i was always curious how it was back in the old days.

nice thread...images like these really put your brain to wonder huh???

imagine if we were still livibng in these times...goin to the malls with horses and stuff...life back then seemed so peaceful...wish things could get back like that now

 

[admin]

I don't mind living in those old time days, things were so peaceful no set of big criminal activity, See the difference long ago did not have much technology and it did not have much crime now the place is flourished with Technology and it have x1000 more crime than the old time days

[LadyDeath]

Yup long ago was much better. you could of walked the streets, lime late, shut down for gas and some folk wudda help you now nothing is like that anymore..if you shut down for gas they might rob you or rape ur wife or child....I hate this new world.

all physical evidence of d history is disappearing all we have now is pictures an those are bein lost an destroyed 2! =[ imagine what d future would b like, wen more curious folk decides 2 find wat our times looked like!


anyway, a lil princes town history! As history dictates, an wikipedia, princes town's original name was savana grande which changed wen queen victoria's sons visited d town, in 1880, they planted two poui trees near the anglican church, d trees still are still here 2day, it feels lik bein timewarped wen ur around it an u kno d history, thinkin about almost standin in d spot where 2 people of royalty once stood 130 yrs ago, an d trees itself who's endured 130 yrs, day after day, of brutal heat, winds, an rains.
