This series of photographs is a glimpse into one of Ghana oldest fishing communities Jamestown . Jamestown and its twin district 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. 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 people. 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.
