Here is something that will keep you occupied for hours together.
Long live the person who has made available for us such a massive
lot of Raj-era photos. Well, as far as I can make out, the photos
themselves aren't old - but the subjects are. Everyone of those
buildings featured in this album was built either in the 19th or mid-
20th century - that is, during the British Raj period. This gentleman
''DBHKer'' seems to have travelled to a number of places in the
former Empire and snapped the still-surviving historic buildings
there. He (or she) has something for everyone - 690 items spread
over 39 pages - including images from Townsville; Gympie, Qld;
Melbourne; Sydney; Brisbane -- all in Australia; Bombay; Delhi;
Calcutta; Madras; Meerut; Simla; Barrackpore -- all in India; Rangoon;
Penang; Ipoh; Singapore; Hong Kong; Canton; Shanghai; Taiping ....

Hats off to this man's generosity and love for history. Visit this first 
page and begin from there. Click on each thumbnail to read the 
description. Every image can be further enlarged. 

See you in about a month's time.
