A quiet corner of this bustling city, charming Ballard Estate is a business district known for its stately colonial structure
We will be walking on the reclaimed land, where once was the sea. We’ll be walking through the lanes of this business district where every building is having a different story and these lanes gives you the “London feel”
In those years when passenger dock was shifted here, this place actually became the Gateway to India
Stories about:
– How Ballard Estate came in existence
– Why it was called the actual Gateway to India
– Shipping Wars between Brits & Indians
– Britannia Statue and Story of Irani restaurant, Britannia
– Mint House
– A vintage photo studio
– A lost promenade
and many interesting stories about this city’s first reclaimed business district
Also, they say if you don’t get lost in Ballard Estate, that means you have not explored it properly, I’ll make sure to make you experience that
Photography is restricted on few spots (I’ll inform about that)
