Guyana’s History

Not often are we afforded the opportunity to see what Guyana back in the day looked like. All we have to do is to rely on the stories of our parents and their grandparents or some of us may be luck to view a few photos from their collections. So here are a few photos from our archives that gives you a little taste of British Guiana. (Guyana Times Sunday Magazine)
