Bangalore 1942 A Love story...

Have you ever wondered how Bangalore would have been some where fifty years ago?
I recently got a few pictures of Bangalore which were taken during 1942 and here they are ….



Any guesses which road it is?? This is today’s Brigade road...

May be you will recognize this one? Hard ah?? This is the Life Insurance Corporation building near the Town Hall Area.

You can’t guess this one... I bet this is the place where now the Mayo Hall stands.

Yep this one is easy since it has the name in the picture this is South Parade road. Higginbotham book stall was there at that point of time.

I guess this one is simple this is easy to identify… No … come on you can’t give up this is the Town Hall area… The next picture will prove why it was so traffic free.

And this is one is the best see the number plate of the car it reads BAN565 is it?? This was the 565th car that was in Bangalore no wonder how less the traffic would have been.
