Create Your Legacy – 83 year old Worli sea face walkway to be remade by 2022 vrajtiara.com

‘Bombay’ being a city conjured up from the salt flats, isolated islands and marshes, has witnessed over time, its ever changing demographics due to the reclamation. ‘South Bombay Peninsula’ we know today, was a reclamation concluded by East India company built as it was thought to have been submerged in the sea between the original seven islands. Worli was a island that was connected to the main island of ‘Bombay’ in 1784 with the completion of Hornby Vellard, now known as Lala Lajpat Rai Road. The Love Grove pumping Station completed its construction in 1842 , with special mitre gates to be opened during low tide. The pumping station had bungalows for the administrative heads which today is replaced by Atria Mall.

With new landmass came a long stretch of waterfronts along the western perimeter which became a home to royalty and the affluents. While Worli was known to be the land of the Kalsi long before the cars moved around the promenade of the Worli we know today, Worli has always been a strategic coastal defence front from the 16th century as witnessed with the Worli Fort built on a hill by the British, overlooking Mahim Fort to keep a look out for the pirates and enemy ships.
