Description
"Mixed group of children - white, black and East Indian taken with the Rev T Huckerby, San Fernando, Trinidad, B.W.I.The buildings at the back give some idea of the dwellings of the working class."
The earliest Wesleyan mission began in the West Indies when, in 1786, Thomas Coke, destined for Nova Scotia, was driven off course by a storm and landed at Antigua in the British West Indies. There he developed a successful mission of both slaves and landowners. Within a few years almost every colony in the West Indies had been reached.
