Description
This plantation, on the Windward side of the island, can be traced back to the first half of the eighteenth century when the Honourable William Woodley owned it. At that time sugar was extracted using an animal mill. The Woodley's retained ownership of the plantation until it was bankrupted and sold in the 1860's. Around 1879 Paget Wade bought the plantation with a £16,000 present from his father, Solomon A.Wade. It was around this time that the estate was renamed Mansion. A steam mill was installed sometime after 1850. The Wades continued to own the property until the second half of the twentieth century when the Governement nationalized itFeatures
