Constant Spring plantation

Constant Spring plantation was one of the Regimental Plantations. It was developed by Lt.-Colonel Henry Archibold during the military occupation following the English invasion of Jamaica. Commander William Brayne described it as "one of the best plantations in the island".[1]:136

Constant Spring is referred to in a string of mid-1970s songs, Trinity's "Three Piece Suit and Thing", Lee Perry and Junior Dread's "Sufferer's Heights", and Althea and Donna's "Uptown Top Ranking".
