Nostalgia: Two Yercaud photos

Yercaud is a lovely hill station (elevation about 5000 feet) in South India. It is famous for its two lakes, waterfalls, scenery and schools.
This was the Waterfalls Estate bungalow, Yercaud.
It was home to my wife Annie till our marriage in 1961.
My father-in-law, PC Abraham Pallivathukkal had bought the coffee plantation from an Englishman, HF Carey.
Annie and her siblings stayed there and had their schooling at Montfort and Sacred Heart’s (SHY). Two of our children too studied at SHY before I shifted them to Bangalore.
Seen in this old photo are our daughter Rosemary and her two children.
The building now houses a convent.

A view of the more than a century old Sacred Heart’s (SHY).
