La Sikwi Sugar Mill
The Sugar Mill known as La Sikwi (patois translation) is situated on the Invergoil Estate in Anse La Raye. The mill was built in 1860 for the manufacture of molasses and crude raw sugar which was shipped to England at that time. The estate switched to the production of cocoa and citrus crops such as limes, oranges and grapefruit which eventually led to the production of lime oil and lime juice for export. It is now a museum documenting the sugar industry with pictorial interpretations of the era.
