Visited the Mart with Kenny and being Jan it was still misty late morning. Top pic shows Sykes Hall and the kitchen area being spruced up.
Kenny at the Band Pavilion (Built 1890) It's just a guess that the Mart may have used this area for its sports as the Polo Grounds, as it was still known in our time, was used by the army till they developed their own ground in the Cantonment that today houses the Surya Auditorium. The info about the polo grounds I got from old Martinian Satish Bhatnagar's book '
Bright Renown'. Satish, I understand is working on an updated version.
The Mart owns its own tractor, financed by a group of old boys. Testing it is the Principal's grand nephew.
