Spanish Town Jamaicas
Capital Old Attraction
Capital of Jamaica for over three
centuries under both Spanish and
English rule tho ancient town of
Spanish Town slumbering in tho
tropic sun 13 rrQJes west of Kings-
ton draws within her confines vis-
itors anxious to turn back the pages
of history and reJive the brave
days when from here the mintpns of
Old Castile and their British con-
querors governed the island
While there are very few old
Spanish buildings remaining any-
where in Jamaica the Great square
of Spanish Town is authentically
Spanish It was laid out after the
plan of Spanish cities when the Dons
decided to leave Seville on the North
coast and establish their seat of
government Inland This Is believed
to have been in 1538
Spanish Town was evacuated In
1655 in the face of the British under
Admiral Pcnn end General Venn
bles but remained the capital until
1872
The ancient gpvernment buildings
are among Spanisn Towns chief
points of interest The old House of
Assembly and Kings house data
from 1762 The former in particu-
lar gives direct contact with the
days of the Eighteenth century In
bygone years tradition has It that
there was an underground passage
leading from the old cathedral
across the square to the assembly
building which was used in trou-
blous times by the lawmakers as-
a quick means of getting Into and
out of the chambers where the as-
sembly sessions were being held
Kentuckys riddle Bow District
Fiddle Bow is the name of the
famous bridge grafted black oak
tree that once lived in Hopkins coun-
ty Ky near Madlsonville The tree
served as the fiddlestick while a
branch fused Into the trunk at both
ends took the place of hairs from
a horses tail From the tree that
part of Kentucky became known as
the Fiddle Bow district A school-
house also goes by the same name
This old land mark stood not far
from the spot where a notorious
highwayman Micajah Harp known
as Big Harp lost his head more
than a century ago This old tree
illustrates how a freak of nature
may distort or change the shape of
a tree making it so distinct that it
becomes a land mark and is writ-
ten into the pages of history
Englands Old Capital
The capital of England at the time
of the Wessex kings Winchester
was once the city of King Alfred It
saw the parliaments of William the
Conqueror and Edward the Confes-
sors coronation and ranked in im-
portance with London in medieval
times All that remains of its for-
mer greatness is the cathedral the
longest Gothic church in Europe
