During the slave trade era, this was the final place were slaves were discharged before shipping them to their various destinations. As the name suggests, once a slave got to this bridge there was no returning.

This place has dungeons were slaves were kept, the dungeons are made up of small containers made from concrete with small holes at the end for air.
This place reminds us of our history of the slave trade and how far we have come.
