FACTS ABOUT FALMOUTH<br />
Pieces of the Past:<br />
A Stroll Down <strong>Jamaica</strong>’s Memory Lane<br />
As Falmouth was established, government offices were relocated and churches such as St. Peter’s<br />
Anglican Church (located in the town centre) were built. Today, St. Peter’s, with its 1842 extension,<br />
stands as one of the largest Anglican churches in <strong>Jamaica</strong>. Its supporting columns were constructed<br />
of solid mahogany and it’s floor inlaid with Mahoe and Mahogany.<br />
Falmouth was carefully laid out with narrow streets named after eighteenth and nineteenth century<br />
British sovereigns and heroes: King St., Queen St., George St., Rodney St., Charlotte St., Pitt St., Victoria<br />
St., as well as Wellington, Stanley and Albert streets. This was the heyday of ‘King<br />
Sugar’ and <strong>Jamaica</strong>’s fortunes were on the rise as the world’s leading sugar producer.<br />
Most houses were built in the Georgian style and are said to be the finest known<br />
outside of Britain.<br />
