The lively village of Ann’s Grove, probably ‘the village that never sleeps,’ was founded back in the early 1800s. According to one resident, persons parade the road day and night, and according to another the buses work all day and throughout the night.
Ann’s Grove is situated on the East Coast Demerara, some 30 kilometres/18.6 miles from Georgetown. The village is said to have approximately 5,000 residents.
When the World Beyond George-town visited, school was in session but the ‘School Street’ teemed with activity; buses drove through, either leaving the bus park (situated in the middle of the street) or headed to park, and young men hung around the snackettes and stalls situated along the road including one with his pet turtle.
