As Barbados gets ready to celebrate in Crop Over festivities this weekend, this view is of the magnificent Gun Hill Signal Station and Lion in St. George parish. It offers a view of the entire island and is the finest of a series of signal stations that were built on island in 1818. Nearby the island’s iconic lion, which was carved out of a single piece of rock by a British officer at the Station in 1868, still stands watch of the coast.
