Residents and heritage advocates in Palmiste are stepping up efforts to preserve the Cedar Grove chimney, one of south Trinidad’s last sugar estate relics, as they organise a petition urging authorities to save the 200-year-old structure.

The Palmiste Historical Society and Palmiste Residents’ Association are calling for the area to be officially declared a heritage site and for the chimney, which had been concealed in an undeveloped part of Palmiste 1975 Ltd, to be restored.
