Mowbrays Road, Madras

Mowbray's Road in Madras (now Chennai) was named after George Mowbray, who arrived in Madras in 1771. Originally a bullock cart track, it was acquired by George Mowbray in the late 18th century and led to Mowbray's garden house, which became the Adyar Club in 1890. By 1816, it had developed into a well-kept thoroughfare, lined with trees for most of its length. After 1947, the road was renamed TTK Road (Thiruvallur Thattai Krishnamachari Road). It connects major locations in Chennai, including Triplicane, Royapettah, Mylapore, and Adyar. The road was known for its beauty, and was once referred to as the most beautiful road in Madras.
