Industrial heritage of Barbados

The Industrial heritage of Barbados, an island nation in the Caribbean, is exemplified by a number of specific structures still standing. These include:

• Codrington College- A college that was first used as a sugar plantation. Built around ancient Amerindian archaeological sites, including burials.
• Morgan Lewis Windmill-
• St Nicholas Abbey- One of only three extant Jacobean-style structures in the Western Hemisphere. Drax Hall Estate, another of the three examples, is also located in Barbados.
• Newton Slave Burial Ground- The remains of nearly 600 slaves were found on the grounds of the former Newton Plantation, in use from 1670–1833, at a cemetery consisting of low mounds.
