In Clarendon, running roughly from Kellits to Crofts Hill there is an area known as Old Woman's Savanna. It appeared so on earliest maps and apparently the old woman was a Spaniard -who refused to leave Jamaica when the English captured the island in 1655, even though her house and property in Spanish Town were seized. She received permission to retire to her hato in the country thus giving the name to the area |

 Beautiful Jamaica
This is a unique coffee-table book and a great gift item,
full of information about the picturesque island of
Jamaica. Nature's beautiful gifts are to be found
everywhere; but nowhere else has nature lavished so much enduring and incredible beauty as on the Caribbean island of Jamaica.
This book is full of information about Jamaica's past and
present heroes, government, social structure, industries,
food, outstanding citizens.....presenting Jamaicans as
they see themselves. Nature's beautiful gifts...expressed in the grandeur of its blue tinted mountains....in the variegated splashes of colour in its lush green valleys...in its picturesque plains of waving canefields...in the artist's dream that are golden sunsets. In these and many other ways, Nature's hand rests lovingly on Jamaica giving the island breathtaking beauty to spare.
“Beautiful Jamaica” was conceived to fill that need. Here
in one package is Jamaica as Jamaicans see their little
world; as they wish it to be seen by the wider world. In
the richness of its lore, the magnetism of its charm and
the vitality of its people.

Martinez Fine Coffees
John Martinez, of J. Martinez & Company, is the person who introduced estate coffees to consumers. A coffee grower in his native Jamaica , Mr. Martinez believed that consumers would welcome the opportunity to savour coffees produced on estates where great care was taken with the crop while it was still in the ground, and in the initial stages of processing.
He identified estates that are noted for producing superior beans, and he gave credit to each estate by using its name. Previously, specialty coffees were sold designated only by the name of the country of origin and the region within that country where the coffee is grown; for example, Jamaica Blue Mountain is coffee which is grown in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica at the eastern end of the island.
Since 1988, when estate coffees were first offered by Mr. Martinez, they have rapidly gained acceptance and today estate coffees form a small but important segment of the specialty coffee market
