| Thanks for the pictures George. Vern and I were in the Martiniere between 1946 and 1954. I left in 1951. So I am pleased that you knew that there were Sharpe brothers at the college. Looking down on Lucknow in Google Earth I am amazed at how the city has grown. Of course it has been nearly 60 years to the day since I left the college and Lucknow. I remember doing cadet military manoeuvres on the other side of the Goomtie where there were open pastures and orchards, where we went in search of watermelons and the like, breaking bounds after lights out! I have attached another view of the Martiniere and surrounds. The Dr Bhimrao Abedkar Park and the development just south of the Park are very impressive. The development north of the railway line and south of the Park is not named on Google maps. With the impressive sports pavilion and playing arena it could be a University? I believe the Park has raised a few eyebrows, Particularly the cost of the development. Anyway if we ever make the trip again it would be a place to visit. Regards, Roley. -------Original Message------- Sorry for the misunderstanding. I knew there were Sharpe 'brothers' so that it... Here are some more pics. The last pic is of the Band Pavilion, behind the washies and the misty road is taken looking back while approaching the Fairydale culvert. |
