Niew Middelburg or New Middleburg.

Pomeroon was a Dutch colony from 1581-1596 and from 1650-1689.

Its capital New Middleburg was situated on the right/east bank of the Pomeroon River near present-day Kabakaburi.

Congratulations!!

Burnham owned more than one horse. I described the one I saw as having a chestnut colour. There's a personal account online by someone named Allan Yearwood who also saw Burnham riding a horse. This is Yearwood's description:

"Burnham continues to look down at me, one hand in control of his powerful stallion. He laughs out loud at the confused look of affirmation that must have been all over my face. His stallion was now pawing so hard at the road that sparks flew from under its shoes. The picture of him on that big reddish-brown horse has left a lasting memory. It is always there to see whenever I wonder about that day."

Chestnut is reddish-brown colour.

This was a good history lesson for me. Thanks!

The first time i saw Burnham close up,was when

Demerara Harbor Bridge opened,he landed with

the helicopter boarded the open top car,drove

across the bridge all decked out in military uniform

that was the kabaka style.

That being said, I confess I don't know the answer to warrior's question.

Today's quiz:

How old is the Guyana lighthouse and what is its height?

You must answer both parts of the question.

Which one? First one or second one?

The lighthouse question. Age? Height?

Me nah ask bout vital statistics becaz it ent gat a coke-bottle shape.

So what if we could afford and use lux to wash our clothes?

Just asking, because that lighthouse in Kingston was actually rebuilt. The first on on that site was more wooden.

I see what you mean. I'm referring to the present, concrete one.

Georgetown Lighthouse

was first built by the Dutch in 1817 and then rebuilt in 1830

The 31 m (103 feet) high octagonal structure

The brick structure was commissioned on 1 June 1830, when it replaced a wooden lighthouse that had been built on the same site by the Dutch. British engineers constructed the present lighthouse, reinforcing the building by placing it on a foundation of 49 greenheart piles, making it durable nearly 200 years later.

Coriera Blenders, excuse my spelling.On the subject of rum, I am looking to Purchase a bottle of Eldorado Bonded Rum, I live in Toronto. I collect rum.

Come straight, Django. What is the age of the lighthouse? Simple question. I won't accept a Wikipedia copy-and-paste attempt for an answer.

LCBO sells Eldorado. I don't know if they have Bonded Reserve. Give them a call. Check Yellow Pages for number.

They stopped making Eldorado Bonded Reserve Rum, LCBO don't have. I am hoping someone having old stock, I can trade a bottle 12 year Eldorado for a bottle bonded reserve, Thanks.Actually, they rename the Bonded Reserve as the 5 year old.

As I said, Burnham possessed more than one horse. There was one which he rode in Hope Estate. The rest were in his stable aback the botanical gardens.

That's the answer!

You were trying to get cocky with the quizmaster. No deal.

Congratulations!!

I never saw Burnham on a white horse. Pure white horses were rare in Guyana.

at David Rose funeral, they had to borrow a pure white horse from my neighbor to pull the carriage I was told.

Now if white horses were rare weh the rass yo neighba get them fram

Speaking white ponies, whatever happened to Jayadevi?

Rare, not extinct. There were around, but not too many. They had some dutty white ones around, but not many Triggers

Have not read all the replies..

TI, Hubby said Burnham had a white horse.

One time we were driving to go to EBD... his helicopter just landed with him; the cops stopped us.. Burnham, walked up to our car and shook our two older children hands.

Not sure about "Bonded rum" but I picked a couple bottles up from the Liquor store in the plaza at Laird and Wicksteed (South of Eglinton) I got ElDorado 12 yr and a 5 yr.

My Muslim buddy Mr Hussein polished off the 15 yr old in a few weeks of visits. He probly going after the 5yr old next. This time I'll charge he rass is only he drinking them.

Do I get points for answering this question?

Re: THE LIGHTHOUSE

In 1992, I visited the lighthouse to interview the attendant on duty for a human interest story I wrote in Nils Campbell's Guyana Times newspaper.

When I entered the compound I shouted HELLO to get attention. The attendant peeped through a window about 80 feet up. I told him my mission. He dropped a key attached to a string. I opened the door and walked up the spiral stairway. In the attendant's lookout floor there was a telescope, binoculars, radio equipment, etc. Glass windows in a semi-circle. From his vantage point he could see all boats heading towards the Demerara river and transmit such info to the Harbour Master. After the interview he gave me permission to climb farther up to the steel balcony. I took some snapshots of various sections of Georgetown.

It was the week before Xmas. I thanked him and gave him a flattie XM 5 Year Old. He broke the seal and we shared a drink.

As I mentioned, the lighthouse attendant worked about 80 feet above ground. Tonight I'm wondering how he is making out with the Marriott Hotel blocking a part of his view.

New week, new brain ticklers.

What was the original name of the National Park in Georgetown?

Queen Elizabeth Park

It was a golf course before.

demerara golf club

Sorry. That's not the original name.

DIH-had something to do wid it.

Yes, sir. It was the Demerara Golf Club since 1923. It was renamed Queen Elizabeth II Park in honour of the Queen's visit February 1966 then National Park after Independence Day.

Congratulations!!
