Re: Magic or anyone with information
"<span style="font-family: 'Georgia'">Various Irish Regiments such as the Earl of Ulsters, the Royal Leinsters, The Royal Inniskillings were all billeted at New Castle, and Irish Town and the Cooperage are all testimony to Coopers brought over to make the wooden barrels for the export of Rum and Coffee. Between Irish Town and New Castle, is <span style="font-weight: bold">the quaint district known as "Red Light" where Irish colleens gave soldiers instructions on the finer art of knitting and embroidery</span>. The Jamaican Constabulary was patterned on the Royal Irish Constabulary, down to the red stripes on the side of their pants.</span>" A Short History of the Irish in Jamaica
Although I hear that the girls also gave soldiers other instructions and thus the district name.
