The Jamaica was situated on the corner of Vauxhall Road and Gem Street.
My Grandad (James Melia) was publican of the Jamaica between the wars and during WWII. My Dad (John Melia), the youngest of 5 children, was born upstairs in the pub in 1930. He used to tell stories of Grandad's sporting almanac which was kept behind the bar to settle arguments about football scores and remembered the pub's windows being blown out during WWII but no-one being worried about looting so they weren't boarded up.
