Trench Town Culture Yard Museum
Additional Details
- The Culture Yard which serves as one of the community yards was a part of the ‘U’ block. It was in this yard that the community leader, Vincent ‘Tata’ Ford lived. Bob Marley, arguably Trench Town's best known resident lived here. While living here Bob Marley was taught how to play the guitar by Vincent ‘Tata’ Ford. It was here too that the very popular song `No Woman No Cry' was co-written by Bob Marley and Vincent `Tart' Ford, which recalled their experiences living in the yard. Bob Marley would also recall in song `Natty Dread' his many trips from First Street to Seventh Streets. It was while living at number 6 and 8 First Street that the Wailers were formed and Bob Marley and the Wailers' first album `Catch a Fire' was recorded. The Culture Yard today hosts a small museum which presents the phenomenal history of Trench Town along with articles, instruments and furnishing used by Tata Ford, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer.
