Spooner's Estate

The estate is noted as being one of the finest examples of agro-industrial history on Saint Kitts, and contains the only surviving cotton ginnery on the island.

Benjamin Buck Greene, deputy governor of the Bank of England converted the estate to steam-powered milling in the 1870's.

The new owners made history in the Caribbean, as in 1901, they installed the first cotton ginnery on St. Kitts and made Spooner's Estate one of the Caribbean's first to successfully convert from the sugar cane industry to cotton production.

The estate's remains on the site today include the structures and ruins of agro-industrial technology from the 17th, 19th and 20th centuries.

No official restoration project or park designation of the Spooner's Estate area has occurred to date.
