Georgetown Club on Camp Street
Django, I will give you one-third of a point.
That building was officially called The Assembly Rooms.
It housed the Georgetown Club.
It was not on Camp Street.
It stood on the exact same spot where Bank of Guyana is now.
It was destroyed by the Great Fire of 1945.
The Assembly Rooms was the national cultural centre of that era. Mostly big shots attended its concerts, plays, vaudeville shows, balls, etc.
With google search you can find info of images

You have earned a half point.
The British Guiana Bank stood at the corner of Water & Robb Streets, Georgetown.
It later became the Royal Bank of Canada and is today called Republic Bank.

Django, while it's true that I started this thread, I cannot spend all day on GNI. I have other, more important interests to attend to.
So, to answer your question, anyone can ask questions or set a quiz.

One British ship took control of Demerara and Essequibo too, in 1803.

In Berbice, Governor von Battenburgh sent a British national to negotiate with the British Navy on behalf of the Dutch. Not surprisingly, he negotiated a full and complete surrender
Interestingly enough, Governor von Battenburgh was allowed to keep his job except that he was now styled "His Brittanic Majesty's Governor" now
Guyanese were sellouts from Day 1!
