Tweet Well I have this in mind from many days to post these Pictures but as this is not my Original work i was hesitating in posting them. One day i was searching on the net for some Old Pictures and specially which were clicked before Independence, i searched lot but was not successful and then i landed on a website which were having some nice Old Pictures. But there was no explanation given on the time they were shot and which place they belonged to , so i searched again and after some struggle got little explanation about them and posted on the Original Post so that the readers there could be benefited. As these Pictures are not Copyrighted hence i am posting on my blog also.

ReplyDeletegood work..
ReplyDeleteyou have made a valuable collection..
nice stuff.
You have a wonderful collection of pics. I really really enjoyed
ReplyDeletei think the no explanations pics show a Bhisti(water carrier) and a khansamah-indespensable part of the laat sahab retinue.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics where did you get them from???
Thanks Roopam !
ReplyDeleteI have always liked old Black & White Pics , So little of them are present, but they say a lot.
Thanks for stopping by here and liking them.
ReplyDeleteDo visit again.
Varsha i guess you are right Bhishti( have heard this word after so long) and Khansamah are the appropriate words for them.
ReplyDeleteI have given the link of Original post at the end, but there you don't get any explanations.
Kothaval Chavadi is still a famous market in Chennai and so is Marina beach! And I live in Mylapore :D
ReplyDeleteOk ! Great to have your comments Moulee !
ReplyDeleteBefore these were just places for me now i know where they existed.
Thanks for being here !
haven't been to any of these places..........it's good that you brought these pics up......it feels good
ReplyDeleteInteresting post indeed!Being in Mumbai let me tell you about those two pics. Bombay 1894 would now be "Mumbai" and the skyline though has changed you can still identify this part of Mumbai.The old British architecture seen in these buildings which still stand now house offices,banks and shops.Area looks like "Fort" which is a short walkable distance from CST Station.
ReplyDeleteThe second picture is of V.T Station -It houses the HQ of the Central Railways here,and the first Train ran between this Station an Thane.It now reads as 'Chattrapati Shivaji Terminus - (CST) for short where the Kasab incident took place.The structure is exactly the same even now,just as magnificent as seen in the picture minus the Tram-cars running there. No more Trams in Mumbai.The road there is choc-a-bloc with cars,B.E.S.T buses and countless people.Oh yes! bullock carts and horse carriages are no more in existence there.This is a Heritage building and it is lit up beautifully at nights.Now a hideous subway is right outside the station under the road you see in that picture :(
its nice, thanks for sharing

YahooRamji thanks for being here, do visit again !
ReplyDeleteRumya a very elaborate reply by you, thanks for that.
ReplyDeleteYes when you will visit most of these places, the picture will be completely different as human population must have engulfed all these places.
The VT station Picture is my Favourite one, as trams used to run in Mumbai sameways in front of Red Fort in Delhi trams used to run.
