The Village of Victoria, located on the East Coast of Demerara, will be celebrating 176 years of being in existence. To commemorate this historic occurrence, the 5000 plus residents are anticipating a grand festivity.
A Victoria lad tries to read the inscription on this monument dedicated to the freed African slaves who bought the village.
Friends of Victoria Diaspora Incorporated has taken up the mantle of hosting several spectacular events in honour of the first village to be bought by slaves from their British colonial masters.
Victoria, which was originally established in 1839 as Plantation Northbrook, lies some 18 miles east of Georgetown on the Atlantic coast.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.
