    I think the first picture is inside the grounds of ARG. The stand in the back ground may be what is now (Sir) Vivian Richards Pavillion.
  • Gabriella Howell said:
    Governor Baldwin (third from left) with Claude Bell (third from right) holding a water diviner rod. Claude Bell was a water diviner who was invited to Antigua from Jamaica by Baldwin to locate wells and underground streams for the people to obtain additional access to water.
