Bengal Drive – Named after Bengal, a region in India. One of the streets in Cashmere given the name of a place in India. First appears in street directories in 1977.
A small amount of information from the library website. Because this is an Indian name it is mostly likely named in connection with John Cracroft Wilson.
This was a steep street to walk and it had a mixture of new and old houses. The older houses were gorgeous. Some lovely gardens here as well. I was checking a friend’s geocache in the wee reserve that is about halfway up the hill. Good views from the top of the street.
