Mowbrays Road



     Mowbrays Road. This major  thoroughfare connecting  Royapettah with Mowbrays Cupola near Adyar river was developed in early  19th century. As per the " Environs of Madras" map of 1814 this road is well marked with fields on both sides.  The  " Sadr Adalat"  the Court of  Appeal for Hindu and Islamic  law cases during  Nawabs  period upto 1860 was abetting the  road near Alwarpet junction.  The building  was recently demolished.  It must have been a pleasant  drive  in those days with avenue of trees.
