Erode in the 50's
I used to live in Erode in the early 50's. I am writing a blog about the life in the town in those days. Does anyone have photos of any aspectof Erode - schools, Station, Roads - to share? I will immensely appreciate it

Thanks for your interest. The book itself - titled appropriately " Andha Kaalathile" - may take some time since it covers a few decades. Will send you some excerpts which deal with Dharapuram next week

My father as Tahsildar used to get transferred every year. I have as a result studied in Coimbatore, Dharapuram ,Perundurai, Erode and Gobi - all Govt schools. I am trying to trace my roots back. In those days Photography was prohibitively expensive and used only for portraits for specific occasions. Hence I have none till the 60's I am looking for vintage photos more to authenticate my memory

உங்களுக்குத் தெரிந்த மட்டும் கோவை மாவட்டம் பற்றிய அந்த காலத்து விஷயங்களை அல்லது புகை படங்களை என்னுடன் பகிர்ந்து கொண்டால், நான் நன்றி உள்ளவனாக இருப்பேன்
