Crow Lane, Bermuda

Crow Lane is a highway wrapping around the innermost part of Hamilton Bay. If you look closely, you can see Crow Lane at the far right of the map below.

In The History of Mary Prince, Crow Lane is mentioned twice. It's first inclusion in the text is found as Prince characterizes the person who enslaved her father, Mr. Trimmingham. Prince describes him as "a ship-builder at Crow-Lane." The second time Crow Lane is mentioned is once again in relation to her father, as she recounts that her father lived "at Crow-Lane."

Today, Crow Lane is likely not what it was in the late 1800s. This road is often used by commuters to reach the city of Hamilton. The most noteworthy piece of history about Crow Lane is Johnny Barnes, who took up waving to traffic each morning from 1986 to 2015. He became a cherished symbol of Bermuda, and today, his statue stands along the road near its famous roundabout.
