Cheshire Hall Plantation

Welcome to the most important place of the Turks and Caicos Islands. It was depicted like this in the XVIII-XIX centuries. Now, Cheshire hall is large and small blocks of limestone. Earlier, they were constructions of the main cotton plantations on this side of the Atlantic Ocean.

Somewhere you can see walls, somewhere - rusty cannons. In some places, everything is destroyed and covered with cacti and small bushes. Probably, before the British arrived on Caicos Island, these lands looked this lifeless. But Great Britain should produce cotton. They had desired and force. But there was not any place for plantations. And people decided to make it on the island of Caicos in the Atlantic Ocean.

How hard this work was! The soil on the island is not so fertile, and the sun is so hot. It is sad to imagine how difficult it was for slaves. Some time after the settlement, people made a large house, areas for slaves, kitchens, warehouses with cotton. They built it out of limestone. Now, here are only ruins left.

Cheshire hall was founded by Thomas Stubbs. He made it one of the most successful plantations on the islands, but not for a long time. Even now, you can feel how dehydrated the soil is. The water was leaving the area, and the cotton production reduced. That is why Stubbs sold the plantation.

Four hundred years ago, as well as today, the plantation is one of the most important points on the islands. In the past, it was rather important from an economic point of view, now an aesthetic and cultural one. Yes, there are just ruins, but they have their charm. You are trying to add some missing details. Also, there are a lot of birds and exotic plants.

The plantation is located on a hill, so the views are amazing.
