Bygone Barbados

Featuring the rare and now much sought after books by author
Ann Watson Yates in a series she started in 1998.
This site will give you short snippets of the books and where to buy them.

Note from the Author:

My aim in these books is to share old photographs and a piece of our past with other Barbadians and visitors to the island. In so doing, a small and simple piece of social history has emerged.

My own collection of photographs, made during my employment over many years in the rare stamp department of the philatelist, Stanley Gibbons, in London, together with pictures from the private collections of Dr. Karl Watson, Mr. Bill Ferguson and Mr. Peter Allard, form the nucleus of the books. We have used pictures from other sources, the ones which have been on loan to us have been listed in my acknowledgements.

Ann Watson Yates,
Barbados 1998
