I live in NY but i am very familiar with the community, i am proud to say my family lives 2 houses away from these watertanks and so did I...when I was a child we called it the crownland back then......it is a great landmark and should remain part of Picton's historic sites...

Straker village has the best and most peaceful view and should be the most peaceful village in the whole of trinidad, and from what i hear that is not so.

It seems that straker village has the best view and yet still they do not keep the place like the view

Mr. Straker 1907-2000, a veteran of Laventille, after whom Straker Village was named because he built the first hut there.
