Walking into Clive Teemul s home-based museum in Central Trinidad, the lyrics “bring back the old time days, bring back them old time ways” of Nappy Mayers Ole Time Days come to mind.
Teemul, 54, who lives in Telemaque Road, Flanagin Town has converted his garage into a museum, which has hundreds of artefacts from as far back as the late 1880s.
What started out as a hobby for Teemul, an art teacher at Tabaquite Secondary School, gradually grew into the museum, Cocoa Panyol, which he created in 2017, and now welcomes visitors from across the country.
