Scenery and Events at Farley Hill National Park

Port History and a Mural in Speightstown

In Speightstown, also in the wider destination of St Peter, the town’s history dates back to a busy port. In its early history, the port enabled trade with Bristol in the United Kingdom; this is why Speightstown was also called “Little Bristol”.

On the beach-facing north wall of Jordan’s Supermarket in Speightstown is an 80-foot-long and 20-foot-high “3D” mural, regarded as a monument. Barbadian artist Don Small designed and painted it with muralist John Pugh and his wife, Annie. Alongside the port trade, the town’s history thus has an artistic landmark with its contributors named.
