This area in St. Andrew is where reggae legend Bob Marley learned how to play the guitar, and it was here that he co-wrote “No Woman No Cry” with Vincent “Tata” Ford, the song that recalls their experiences growing up here. Marley’s “Natty Dread” describes his many travels from First Street to Seventh Street, and while he lived at numbers 6 and 8 First Street, Bob and the Wailers got together and recorded their first album “Catch a Fire.” The Yard now boasts an architectural and cultural museum with items and instruments used by Marley, as well as a souvenir shop. The Trench Town Culture Yard was named a National Heritage Site by Jamaica’s government in 2007.
