Peace and prosperity were short lived, and the English and French were battling again by 1778. This time, the English won control of the island through agreements outlined in the 1814 Treaty of Paris. However, the British were indifferent about changing French customs, thus language, religious preference, place names, and cultural traditions remained decidedly French for the first half of the 19th century. Even today, the citizens of this English island speak a French-based cedar rapids cid patois that flows like thick honey from the back of the throat, and live in villages named Soufri re, Vieux Fort, and Gros Islet.

At the south end of Bay Front, Victoria Street climbs past Peebles Park to Fort Young and St. George Anglican Church. The fort was built in 1770 by Sir William Young, the island s first British governor, and enlarged by the French between 1778 and 1783. Since 1964, it has been a hotel, and ongoing construction has repaired hurricane damage and added new rooms and facilities. Across the street, the Regency-style Anglican church has suffered major damage from hurricanes since it was founded in 1820. Hurricane David gutted the structure and it lost some of its architectural style when it was restored, but the gray-stone church is still worth seeing. If you can get inside, notice the wooden ceiling, stone floor, and stained glass on the altar.
