Wallblake House, Anguilla

Wallblake House

Wallblake House is a heritage plantation house and museum annex in The Valley, the main town of Anguilla. Built in 1787 by Will Blake, a sugar planter, it is stated to be the oldest structure on the island.

Although gutted by the French in the late 1790s, the house was rebuilt when British planters reoccupied the island and today has been fully restored, with its kitchen complex, stables and slave quarters intact. (Read more)
