KEY POINTS:
The boyhood home of the late Sir Frank Worrell, the first black captain of the West Indies, has been torn down to make way for a museum dedicated to the cricket great.
Bostonville, as the house was named, was demolished last weekend after being in a state of disrepair for several years.
It was built just outside the gate of the historic Empire Club in the suburb of Bank Hall, on the outskirts of Bridgetown. The Barbados Government decided to tear down the house after it became a home for vagrants and drug dealers.
Worrell, who was knighted in 1964, played 51 tests for the West Indies from 1948 to 1963, averaging nearly 50. He died in 1967.
