REAL PHOTO - Montego Bay, JAMAICA - Creek Tower

Description: REAL PHOTO - Montego Bay, JAMAICA - Creek Tower: Montego Bay is the capital of the parish of St. James in Jamaica. The city is the fourth-largest urban area in the country by population, after Kingston, Spanish Town, and Portmore, all of which form the Greater Kingston Metropolitan Area, home to over half a million people. As a result, Montego Bay is the second-largest anglophone city in the Caribbean, after Kingston. Montego Bay is a popular tourist destination featuring duty-free shopping, a cruise line terminal and several beaches and resorts. The city is served by the Donald Sangster International Airport, the busiest airport in the Anglophone Caribbean, which is located within the official city limits. The city is enclosed in a watershed, drained by several rivers such as the Montego River. Montego Bay is referred to as "The Second City", "MoBay" or "Bay". Creek Dome was built in 1836 to guard the spring which feeds Bay Creek - the only source of water for Montego Bay at the time. Located in Montego Bay in the parish of St. James, this quaint structure with its white wooden fixed louvres and yellow brick tower [London stock] was erected over the source of the creek in Montego Bay. At first, the Dome was simply a rounded roof or covering for the water bubbling up at the head of the creek, but soon it came to play an important role in Montego Bay's water supply. The installation of the water pipe system in 1893, however, saw the decreased usage of the Dome but it has proved a great alternative in times of drought.
