UNGA AREA - Choolai
Thank you all for the response and feedback for my initiative of “Unga Area”. I have got many
constructive feedback and will try to implement it from this post itself.
After the first post about TARAMANI, here comes to Unga Area – CHOOLAI.
CHOOLAI has got its name because
of the Brick kilns present in that area. There is still a road by the name “Brick Kiln Road” in Choolai, which
proved its name reason. It was previously called as “Lakshmi Narasimhapuram”.
Lord Natarajar temple is there in Choolai which was built some 150 years
back and I believe it to be one of the very few temples built for lord Nataraja
and only one in the city.
As like every other place in Chennai, Choolai has also got its good
heritage value and carries some good memories from the past. Thanks to Muthiah
sir for the book “Madras Miscellany”
by which he has taken us to the 18th & 19th century
and made us know about the history and heritage of MADRAS. Here are the few
information gathered from his book regarding Choolai.
Choolai is known for its “MADRAS UNITED SPINNING & WEAVING MILLS (CHOOLAI MILLS)”. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, there were two composite textile mills in Madras – B&C in Perambur , owned by a British Company and Madras United Spinning & Weaving Mills in Choolai, fully owned and managed by an Indian. But due to the strikes and losses this was sold to Sardar Inderjit Singh & Sons of Delhi and later they sold it to M/s.Edward Textiles of Bombay. But due to the non-payment of tax arrears, government seized the mills and converted the buildings into godowns for the Food Corporation of India , which is still there in Choolai.
Choolai is located 1km away from Vepery, Pulianthope and Park Town.

ReplyDeleteDeepak u missed out the 7 services (the late 7C, 7F, 7H, 7M and 7K) also come to Doveton, though it may not be going to choolai directly these two stops are bare 300 mtrs apart. and the St. Pauls Church and Choolai Hospital and next to the doveton bus stop and on hunters road itself.
do add educational institutions too. I boarded the bus in doveton for all my school years back home. there are more than ten schools around that bus stop and after school hours you will see a sea of head in that area.
