The Bangalore that was, 60 years ago!
These photographs of Bangalore were taken in 1946. Can you identify the buildings /locations? Try. Ask your friends as well.
Add these questions to the quiz: 60 years back,
What was the name of MG Road? South Parade.
Bangalore was part of which State? Mysore State.
Bangalore had how many cars? Not less than 656 cars.
A couple of clues are in the pictures.
I'll come back with the answers after three days.
Town Hall area
MG Road. Higginbothams on the left
Brigade Road.
Mayo Hall
This is where the IT hub is - Hosur Road!
Oriental Building (LIC)
View from MG Road towards St. Marks Road.
The car number is BAN 656.

Today, May 5, 2008, I received the following email
"hi,
perhaps you did not know but you have on
your blog copies of my pictures taken by me in 1946
they are
brigade road
mayo hall
oriental building
car ban 656
surely the gentlemanly thing to do is to give me credit
for them as Ronnie has done on his Bangalore web site.
He is the only one I gave an OK to although I have no
problem with you posting them if suitable credit is given
All the best to you . Its great to see how Bangalore
has prospered

My failure to give proper credit is highly regretted.
