They built a lush green belt around the cantonment separating the native village of Bangalore, the Petta, from the cantonment region. Their interest in horticulture in the area was heightened by the city’s suitable climate. They established and expanded existing gardens, built greenhouses and set up apple orchards throughout the city. The cantonment was strictly guarded and controlled by the civil and military administrations. Under various notable British persons, the city became famous for its culture and diversity.

It was built in 1848 by Sir Richard Sankey. The park formed a clear green belt next to the cantonment. It now houses multiple government cultural buildings and was once famous for its bandstands. It was one of Sir Richard Sankey’s first contributions to the landscape of Bangalore. ROTTEN ROW The street that runs through Meade’s Park is a pedestrian road, which went parallel to the Manekshaw Parade Ground. It was the hub of the Bangalore cantonment. Before Meade’s Park was laid out, the area used to be a sewage canal which gave the street its name. PEARS RIDE Pears Ride is a pedestrian road in Meade’s Park, which ran perpendicular to Rotten Row on the other side of the Parade Ground. It used to be flanked by pear trees, which were later replaced by gulmohars. MISSION RD. The road is named after the London Missionary Society. The Society was active in Bangalore from the 1820’s, and in 1841, a seminary was finally established which would go on to house the first United Theological College. 10 11 BANGALORE TURF CLUB The Bangalore Turf Club was set up in 1921. Bangalore had always been a city well suited for breeding horses, in particular racing horses from Persia. During World War II the Turf Club made efforts to raise funds, and in 1941, the first day of the seven-day season, was named War Fund Day. CUBBON PARK Richard Sankey designed Cubbon Park near the Bangalore Turf Club in honor of Sir Mark Cubbon, the longest serving Commissioner of Mysore (1834-1861). Cubbon incidentally, never set his eyes on the park. He left India in April 1861, and died on his way back home at Suez on 23rd April 1861. CENOTAPH RD. The Cenotaph was built in memory of the British soldiers who died in the siege of Bangalore in the second Anglo-Mysore War and soldiers who died in different wars with Tipu Sultan till 1784. This monument was about to be destroyed on October 28th 1964 by the Bangalore City Corporation but was saved through public demonstrations. 12 13 MILLERS TANK Millers Tank is a man made lake built in the 1800’s; it links Sankey Reservoir and Kempabuddhi Tank. HIGH GROUNDS High Grounds is so named for its elevated terrain. Earlier a man made tank existed there which acted as a reservoir where water from adjoining areas was collected. This drainage system eventually dried up and the area became a residence for the elite of Bangalore. Not being part of the cantonment limits the houses were spacious with orchard lawns. Surrounded by parks there were numerous bandstands where the armed forces band played every week. PRIMROSE CIRCLE The Circle was name for the Primrose bushes that were grown in the small park. The yellow color of the flowers also gave it the nickname, Round-the-Sun. GAOL RD. “The London Times Madras correspondent reports that the military fired on a crowd of 4000 Hindus in Bangalore, who were storming the gaol, to rescue the prisoners. One of the crowd was killed and five wounded. The firing dispersed the crowd, but later the rioting was renewed. The military are picketing the riot area.” 28 November, 1921. 14 15 SESHADARI IYER MEMORIAL HALL An advocate who served as the Divan of Mysore from 1883 to 1901. He is regarded by most as the “Maker Of Modern Bangalore”. He established the Kolar Gold Fields and the first hydel electric power project. Seshadari Iyer had to deal with a devastating plague, which afflicted Bangalore in 1898 and was responsible for the decongestion of streets and reconstructing the city in the aftermath of the plague. ATTARA KACHERI / HIGH COURT The two storied building made of stone and brick and painted red houses the High Court. Rao Bahadur Arcot Mudaliar supervised the construction of the building and the English Commissioner of Mysore drew up the plans. VIDHAN SOUDHA The seat of the state legislature of Karnataka the Vidhan Soudha is constructed in a Mysore neo-Dravidian style; it incorporates elements of Indo-Saracenic and traditional Dravidian styles. The construction was completed in 1956. Inscribed in front is “Government’s Work Is God’s Work.” 16 17 KEMPE GOWDA TOWERS Kempe Gowda built seven towers that would be hailed as the outer boundaries of his settlement and mark the frontiers of his kingdom. The four towers recognized as Protected Heritage Monuments now stand scattered in the modern city, near Lal Bagh, Ulsoor Lake, Kempabuddhi Lake, and what is now Mekhri Circle. OLD MILLERS BUILDING The Old Millers Building which stands near the Kempabuddhi Tank was a functional 3-story flourmill with a large warehouse. It received grain from the nearby villages and the produce of the mill was subsequently sold in the Petta on Avenue Road. It was set up in 1894. It soon became redundant within the urban city and was abandoned. In the second half of the 20th century it was bought by a private firm and transformed into full-scale bakery and new equipment was installed. The warehouses were refurbished and cafes and restaurants were set up. 18 19 INDIAN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE It is a public institution for scientific and technological research and higher education. SANKEY TANK Col. Richard Hieram Sankey of the Madras Sappers regiment built the Sankey Reservoir in 1882 to meet the water demands of growing Bangalore city. It is also known as Gandhadhakotikere, as the government sandalwood depot was situated near the lake. C.V. RAMAN RD. C.V. Raman was a prominent Indian physicist.

    Comprehensive Traffic & Transportation Plan for Bangalore Chapter 1 - Introduction CHAPTER ––– 1 INTRODUCTION 1.11.11.1 GENERAL BACKGROUND 1.1.1 Bangalore is the fifth largest metropolis (6.5 m in 2004) in India and is one of the fastest growing cities in Asia. It is also the capital of State of Karnataka. The name Bangalore is an anglicised version of the city's name in the Kannada language, Bengaluru. It is globally recognized as IT capital of India and also as a well developed industrial city. 1.1.2 Bangalore city was built in 1537 by Kempegowda. During the British Raj, Bangalore developed as a centre for colonial rule in South India. The establishment of the Bangalore Cantonment brought in large numbers of migrant Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh and North Indian workers for developing and maintaining the infrastructure of the cantonment. New extensions were added to the old town by creating Chamarajpet, Seshadripuram, Nagasandra, Yediyur, Basavanagudi, Malleswaram, Kalasipalyam and Gandhinagar upto 1931. During the post independence period Kumara Park and Jayanagar came into existence. The cantonment area covers nearly dozen revenue villages, which included Binnamangala, Domlur, Neelasandra and Ulsoor to name a few. In 1960, at Binnamangala, new extension named Indiranagar was created. The defence establishments and residential complexes are in part of the core area. It is a radial pattern city growing in all directions. The Bangalore city which was 28.85 sq. Km. in 1901 increased to 174.7 sqkm in 1971 to 272 sqkm in 1986 and presently it has expanded to nearly 437 sqkm.

    THE NEW CAMBRIDGE HISTORY OF INDIA Indian society and the making of the British Empire Cambridge Histories Online © Cambridge University Press, 2008 THE NEW CAMBRIDGE HISTORY OF INDIA General editor GORDON JOHNSON President of Wolfson College, and Director, Centre of South Asian Studies, University of Cambridge Associate editors CA. BAYLY Vere Harmsworth Professor of Imperial and Naval History, University of Cambridge, and Fellow of St Catharine's College and JOHN F. RICHARDS Professor of History, Duke University Although the original Cambridge History of India, published between 1922. and 1937, did much to formulate a chronology for Indian history and de- scribe the administrative structures of government in India, it has inevitably been overtaken by the mass of new research published over the last fifty years. Designed to take full account of recent scholarship and changing concep- tions of South Asia's historical development, The New Cambridge History of India will be published as a series of short, self-contained volumes, each dealing with a separate theme and written by a single person. Within an overall four-part structure, thirty-one complementary volumes in uniform format will be published. As before, each will conclude with a substantial bib- liographical essay designed to lead non-specialists further into the literature. The four parts planned are as follows: I The Mughals and their contemporaries II Indian states and the transition to colonialism III The Indian Empire and the beginnings of modern society IV The evolution of contemporary South Asia A list of individual titles in preparation will be found at the end of the volume.
