From Old Ceylon to New Sri Lanka
A few weeks ago, we posted some charming old postcards of Sri Lanka, or Ceylon as it was known in those days (thus the name of this website!).
To follow up this, we thought it would be interesting to compare how Old Ceylon has evolved into the New Sri Lanka over the last century using photographic imagery.
To start us off, here is a picture of Pettah, in Colombo:
And here are some other wonderful examples of how Old Ceylon has become New Sri Lanka…
Galle Face Hotel, Colombo
Air Ceylon
York Street, Colombo
Khan Clock Tower, Colombo
Colombo Harbour
We will be posting more of these soon
