This is the first known areal Photograph of Portmore
It was taken above Kingston near 6 miles by Tyndale-Brisco(?)
It shows the mining at Henderson Hills which is reputed to have
started from the days when Port Royal was being built!
Most of the land is in either cane or banana. Near the coast there are wet lands or dry low secondary forest

Contrast the first picture above with this one from the 1980s
Caymanas Park was built in the late 1950s, but the lands west of Newland Road is in Agriculture.
Up to this point, mainly low, dry, inhospitable property was used. Soon housing would move
into solid farm land and away from the coast.
