    Very interesting stuff bro👍I always liked history and Geography from I was in high school. Now I can give you 3 main points which I think should be in this video or if your doing another about rivers
    Point1: Hector's River(which lies on the Trelawny/Manchester boundary) and Cave River in St.Ann are the only two rivers in JA which does not ends in the sea. Instead the disappeared in underground limestone
    Point 2:Plantain Garden river in St. Thomas is the only river that flows westward All the other flows North-South/South-North
    Point3: Manchester is the only parish in JA without a river

    Correction the White River borders both St Ann and St Mary. It's not in St. Ann. Every area along the length of the river is bordered by both parishes. From River Head near Blackstonedge to White Hall, Labyrinth at the Spanish bridge, White River near Ocho Rios and Prospect St Mary near White River. (If you need more info.I can fill you in, lived in and around these areas..Two hydro electric plants on this river.

      Mr. Basil Byfield, humble greetings. In the late 1970s-early '80s, used to reside very near White River, Prospect, St.Mary. I'd welcome learning of any recent/current info' you know of White River, Prospect. I am currently in England, and, I note that the date that you set up your You Tube account,-is the same date [Lord willing],- that I'll be the same ('Platinum') age as 'Independent' Jamaica!
