Heritage Watch: Chepauk in Pictures

Watching a cricket match last week at Chepauk, the recent improvements to the stadium were made manifest with the sea breeze wafting in thanks to the slicing of the earlier structure to facilitate this. At the same time, it cannot be forgotten that the older structure, which made all of this possible, was a repository of much history too. And it owed its existence to the vision of one man – M.A. Chidambaram.

And before that we had old Chepauk, with its makeshift stadium of poles and ropes.In between we also had the Corporation stadium. Our pics show all of these – old Chepauk, with its poles, the Corporation stadium, and now the latest.
