These are the last pictures from Romney Manor. The Viewing Gallery where you can see the landscape of the rainforest.

"A viewing gallery would have been in use from the early 1600's.

The gallery enabled the owners of Wingfield Estate to keep an eye on the activities at the sugar works down in the estate yard. Up to 1930's, the view of the estate was unobstructed. The trees you see have grown in modern times.

The estate would have been a hive of activity! There would have been many signs to be interpreted by the owner. He would have interpreted comings and goings of cane carts, smoke blowing from the chimney stacks, barrels being transported to the shoreline, water wheel turning-----------------Etc., etc."
