Tola,

I also knew the entire area as #19 village, but discovered  other names after the toll booth and police outpost were installed, near the school.

The toll booth were definitely a racist thing.  Only in Indian areas. I believe another was at Upper Corentyne.  

#63 village. Two police officers were stationed there 24/7.

Skelly, I don't believe toll booth existed  in any other parts of Guyana.

I suspect the police outpost  was installed near Bohemia? school, because of the toll booth.

The toll booth attendants were crooked like hell. After paying, they would give a piece of blank paper as receipt.  If you question it, the police hassle the car driver with info  and fitness for the car. You pay, grin and bare and the attendants laugh all the way to their bank.

I am still pissed that my Dad, in his senior years, could not buy sugar at Albion, where he help to make sugar.
