  • I want to see my Flat- Mayurakshi Niketan, 8/1, Nidhi Ram Majhi Lane, Howrah Central.
  • We have fond memories of staying here in flat no 7A from 1996-1999.Our daughter Shreya was born here.The Durga Puja in the campus, the yard from the bedroom and the view of Howrah Bridge--we remember them all. Built in the 1920s this majestic building has residences of railway officers and is still an attraction with a heritage tag.

  • I lived in 16 Çolvin court for all my childhood years. Very fond memories of the view of Howrah bridge. Bangabasi cinema and the club. And going off to St Thomas school first across the road, later to St Agnes. Lovely time in the park below and holi at the Lotus fountain. And the old time lift. My dad is Dr C M Kulshreshtha.
  • I am 72 now. I lived in Colvin Court first floor.when I was 18. My father was CMO Dr Agarwal.. I am amazed that in those years we had running gas including in the geysers. Railway club on the other side of the road was wonderful. can some one tell me if the lifts are still working fine. Place some images of the building. It will give me lot of happiness.

  • Mukta, I also lived there during 1968-1975, and remember you very well. We enjoyed playing in the park below and the roof top of this massive building. My dad was Mr BK Banerjee and we stayed at 55 Church Road.
