\"Hampstead\"An estate on the north coast of Dominica surveyed and sold by the British in the 1760’s and named by it’s first owners after the London suburb of Hampstead. The Caribs called the area Batibou. As with all of their main sugar estates on Dominica, the Hampstead sugar factory was powered by water, in this case from the Hampstead River. The works still stand with the equipment in place and it is one of the best surviving examples of the 18th century technology on the island. Produce on the island was shipped from it’s own port on Hampstead beach. A small gun battery with one mounted cannon guarded the bay. The cannon now stands in the foyer of the Arbeedee Cinema in Portsmouth . In the late 19th century the estate shifted to growing limes and cocoa and in the 20th century changed to coconuts and copra production. From the late 19th century the estate was owned by the McIntyre family, but in the 1930’s due to McIntyre’s indebtedness to the Government Loan Board, the government took over the estate and managed it until it was bought by R. B Douglas in 1946 whose descendants now own the estate. Photo taken Abby Shapiro.<\/p>\n
