Usher Fort - Historic Site - Ghana, West Africa
Published Sep 8, 2012
Usher Fort (Accra)
Usher Fort was built by the Dutch in 1642. Ten years later it was taken by the French and named Fort Crevecoeur, then passed through the hands of the Dutch and finally the British who rebuilt it in 1868.
When I shot this video some years ago I had heard that UNESCO had an interest in protecting this historic site. Currently I do not no the current state of affairs regarding this historic site. This site like many others I have observed in the African Diaspora has historical significance of extreme importance.
Ghana Ussher Fort a tourist site for the year of return.
Ussher fort was one of the 3 forts the Europeans built in the 17th century.
It is located in James town Accra, Ghana.
Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, Ghana’s first president and a fore figure in the struggle for independence, was imprisoned there during the colonial era.
The fort previously served as a prison, until 1993.

Walking from High Court to James Fort Accra
I spent much of the day walking the city of Accra, Learning the heritage and history from the people of Ghana.
Their heritage and tapestry of women tribes and languages makes this nation a special and colourful nation.
Yet, as you are able to see from this video, the projects that have stated have stopped before completion, most of the efforts and resources as been lost since there is not central focus to complete the projects.
It is sad that there are so many skilled and amazing people in the nation yet non of them are looking to improve the lives of each other.
Much of the time is invested in the religion, and free handouts.

Governing body Accra Metropolitan Assembly
Located directly east of the Korle Lagoon, Jamestown and Usshertown are the oldest districts in the city of Accra, Ghana and emerged as communities around the 17th century British James Fort and Ussher Fort on the Gulf of Guinea coast.[1] These districts were heavily developed by the end of the 19th century, and following the rapid growth of the city during the 20th century, they became areas of a dense mixture of commercial and residential use.
Today, both Jamestown and Usshertown remain fishing communities inhabited primarily by the Ga. Although in a state of decay following years of neglect by subsequent governments, the districts are popular tourist destinations for those seeking to see the remnants of Accra's colonial past. The original Jamestown Light, built by the British at James Fort in 1871, was replaced in the 1930s by the current Accra Light, which is 28 m (92 ft) tall. The lighthouse, which is 34 metres (112 ft) above sea level, has a visibility of 16 nautical miles (30 km),[2] it overlooks the harbour and gives the opportunity to see the James fort, the Bukom district and the Ussher fort from a bird's-eye view.[3]
Since World War II, a succession of plans to enhance the capital city have come with changes in government — some seeing improvements in Jamestown as a necessary part of the overall plan, and some treating such improvements as competing with the efforts to develop the central business district of Accra. Currently, plans are afoot to re-develop the districts of Jamestown and Usshertown, both of which constitute Old Accra or Ga-Mashie with the inauguration of the 2015 Old Accra Strategy. The Popular Azonto dance originated from James Town. The Local Language Ga is often spoken by the natives.[4] [5]
Currently, Jamestown serves as a tourist attraction and a venue for the annual Chale Wote Street Art Festival that brings together people from not just all over the country but all over the world[6].
