THE HARP GUN has taken a back seat but the former Glendairy Prison has come to the fore as a possible new tourist attraction.
This has been revealed by chief executive officer of the Barbados Tourism Product Authority (BTPA), Dr Kerry Hall (below), who told the MIDWEEK NATION they were looking to add the 1853 building in Station Hill, St Michael, to the country’s arsenal of tourism sites. 
The High Altitude Research Project, commonly known as the HARP Gun, was halted in the early 1970s and its guns have been left to rust in the salt air.
Two years ago, the BTPA revealed it was examining the feasibility of restoring the 50-year-old guns in Christ Church and turning them into a tourist attraction. (HLE)
