Bombay Green in 1857. Start of Railway Station. Photographer: Unknown
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Landscape Photography
View looking across the Green from the Town Hall towards the Cathedral. Piles of sleepers appear to be stored in a compound on the Green. This probably relates to the construction of the Great Indian Peninsula Railway which commenced in the 1850s. The 'Railway Station' referred to in the caption may mean the GIPR's terminus in the Bori Bunder, for which the sleepers in this view could have been destined. The print forms the right half of a panorama with Print 18.
Subjects = Great Indian Peninsula Railway; railway building; railway companies; railways; transport
