This festive-season heritage walk explores Park Street beyond its festive glow, uncovering hidden histories and urban legends embedded in mansions, clubs, churches, institutions, and civic spaces that shaped colonial and modern Calcutta. From wartime cafés to missionary schools, the trail uncovers hidden stories, social codes, and urban legends embedded in buildings still in everyday use. It invites curious city-lovers to read Calcutta’s past hiding in plain sight—where celebration, memory, power, and silence coexist along the iconic boulevard.
