Newcastle, a military base for the Jamaica Defence Force (JDF). Like the hill stations in India, this was built at height for a more moderate temperature, and to be above the malarial lowlands. The masonry wall along the road is embrazoned with the crests of many of the units which were stationed here over the years.
