Notes |

Higman notes that 'Albion was one of the largest sugar estates in the old parish of St. David... it played an important role in the introduction of new sugar technology.' Archibald Edgar surveyed Albion in 1794 - he noted the estate covered 1492 acres with 294 in cane. The estate was expanded to include Cow Bay Pen and Spring Garden Plantation so that by the time of Edward McGeachy's plan in 1842, the estate covered 4074 acres. James Robertson's 1804 map showed two watermills at Albion. Higman suggests from the archaeology that the one of the wheels was a 'breast wheel' that received water from the side. Water was vital to Albion not only to power the mill but also to irrigate the fields. By 1880 Albion was the leading sugar producer in Jamaica. Albion produced its last sugar crop in 1928 and afterwards it was cultivated by the United Fruit Company who grew bananas. |
