Antigua and Barbuda 's traditional food is just one aspect of the work under way to preserve the twin isles' distinct features for posterity.

The inventory will also include its unique dialect, bush medicine, games, crafts, architecture and boat-building techniques.

The mammoth project is being funded by the United Nations cultural body, Unesco .

Mr Benjamin uses palm leaves, which must be sun-dried for two days , to create the bristles.

The techniques were passed on to him by his grandfather and he is one of few people still making and selling the brooms.

He says they remain in high demand among Barbuda 's residents.
