We had heard of Lawrence School and Shobha reminded me of it on FB but nothing prepared us for the beauty of the building. Wow! those Brits really knew how to make fabulous schools and grander buildings. I know I went to CJM in New Delhi and that too is mellow but red brick.
The occasion we happened to visit was the 152nd Founders Day Celebrations of the School and Almuni from across the globe had descended on Lovedale for the occasion. We met a couple at the Hill Country Resort.
Take a look at the pics, you will see what I mean and whats even cuter is just outsdie the school gates is the Lovedale Toy train station where I am pretty sure students of the school in the old days got off and just walked to school!
i always wanted to study in a place like that.... such a nice looking campus :)
ReplyDeleteYeah I was really stunned by the place. Must be expensive I am sure!
ReplyDeleteI was always fascinated with hill top schools portrayed in the films of the '80s. There is something about those Brit buildings that brings joy to the soul! What amazing architecture and choice of location. Simply brilliant! Too bad they had to leave :P
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wonder like you do that maybe if they stayed we would have less chaos in India. Grass is always greener!:-)
