I have since returned to St Helena and established the precise location of the Maldivia Gardens both visually and from the archives, and have discovered the fate of the Maldivians: contrary to local legend they left the island hopefully to return to their homeland. Most of this can be found if you click the label Maldivia/Slavery etc.John Tyrrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14840928923304125310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576793257211626923.post-50791076560630963522016-04-23T12:07:46.676+01:002016-04-23T12:07:46.676+01:00Contact the St Helena Information office who I am ...Contact the St Helena Information office who I am sure will confirm that Maldivia is a few metres behind the hospital in upper Jamestown.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576793257211626923.post-6723789023959671232011-04-12T10:51:46.841+01:002011-04-12T10:51:46.841+01:00I have had this comment from my friends on St Hele...I have had this comment from my friends on St Helena: "the house surrounded by trees is actually Palm Villa which is just about 100 yards going down from what used to be a Botanical Garden. There are still a couple of very old trees of unique species growing there but the Government has built houses and flats in the old gardens which carry the name of Botanical Gardens. I have never heard anyone say this area was connected to Maldivia."<br />I will leave the photo in place, but it looks as if we still have not properly located Maldivia Gardens!John Tyrrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14840928923304125310noreply@blogger.com
