COLOMBO JUMBO: Stamboul Place
http://www.colombojumbo.com/2014/04/stamboul-place-doesnt-appear-in-colombo.html
The Origin of Colombo Street Names. Thursday, April 3, 2014. Stamboul Place doesn't appear in Colombo Jumbo. That's because it is a Private Road and is not listed in Arjuna'a A-Z Street Atlas. Sir Mohammed Macan Markar Mawatha does. Sir Mohammed owned Villa Stamboul which, when it was built, was the only property between this stretch of Galle Road and the sea. Sir Mohammed was the Turkish Consul 1903-15. Stamboul is, of course, a corruption of Istanbul. SIR MOHAMMED MACAN MARKAR MAWATHA Kollupitiya C3.

COLOMBO JUMBO: May 2013
http://www.colombojumbo.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
The Origin of Colombo Street Names. Tuesday, May 7, 2013. What's in a Paris Street Name? An interesting article which outlines street naming issues in Paris. As I say in the book the Parisians started started the whole street naming game, particularly commemorative naming. If the proposed street naming goes ahead the Place de l’Hôtel de Ville-Esplanade de la Libération. Would be a whoppingly long street name to match the best Colombo has to offer.
