Tobago landmark goes up in smoke

An old, but very important piece of Tobago's heritage went up in smoke as units from the Roxborough Fire Station responded to a call sometime after 1 p.m. on Tuesday that the historic buildings on the 'Kingsbay Estate' were on fire.

The age of the wooden structures were quickly engulfed in flames. Two fire units got there about 2 pm and tried to put out the blaze but most of the buildings were already completely burnt. Officials are still investigating.

The picture was definitely a fine addition to the story, thank you for that. It should be interesting to see what is in store for this now available spot.

yes it is a shame that this nice old structure came down in flames. At first the foundation was in tact but later all the brick posts collapsed. i hope it is not another victim for development sake. Maybe someone does not like what it has been used for...
