Bob Marley's home designated national heritage site
The house where reggae superstar Bob Marley once lived has been designated a Protected National Heritage Site by the Jamaican government.
An official ceremony to mark the designation took place yesterday at the home which is now a museum that showcases the recording studio Marley built as well as memorabilia that once belonged to the musician.
“This ensures that for future generations nothing will be changed without the consent of the National Heritage Trust. It will always look as it did when Bob was here,” said Jacqueline Lynch-Stewart, manager at the museum said today.
A plaque marking the occasion was unveiled by Marley’s daughter Stephanie and government officials.
It bears the words, “One good thing about music, when it hits you feel no pain,” taken from the singer’s hit song Trenchtown Rock.
