    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.

    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.

    Some sort of Sports Day? I see sack races and tug-o-war. Can't pick up the location. Almost looks like T.N. Kirnon School but I'm sure it isn't.

    A sport's day attended by the Governor on Antigua - showing sack race and tug-o-war. Possibly St John's ? Verified by Nat Archives
