Set quietly within the grounds of Fort Bennett Black Rock, this centuries-old stone oven is a striking reminder of Tobago’s colonial legacy. Constructed with volcanic rock and red bricks, ovens like this were once essential to daily life, used for baking bread to feed soldiers and estate workers during the colonial era.
A fusion of European design and African craftsmanship, this structure holds the layered history of labour, survival, and resilience carved into every stone.
