Sasaram Lane – Named after Sasaram, a town of British India, in the Shahabad district of Bengal. One of the streets in Cashmere given the name of a place in India. Formed post-1997.
A wee bit of information from the library website. I checked Gordon Ogilvie’s book but nothing in his book about this street. Without googling I am positive that the reason for the name would be John Cracroft Wilson because of his history with India. He also owned a huge amount of land on the hills.
This was a tiny street with large modern houses. It is highly likely that most of the houses are rebuilds after the earthquakes. At the end of the road there was a wee track that took me to Delhi Place. My photo is of a house that was on the corner of Sasaram Lane and Bengal Drive. I would like to have got photos of the other houses but it wasn’t possible.
