Drystone Wall Kitridge Bay


Drystone wall on the Kitridge Bay. Walls like this can still be found on some parts of the island, however, there are few, if any, workmen with the skill to maintain them. This is a problem all over the world. In the UK, there are societies of volunteer drystone wallers, who give up their time and work for free to keep these important parts of the historic landscape in existence.
In Barbados the fabric of the historic agricultural landscape is steadily disappearing under the advance of concrete.
