History of Ceylon Tea

A group of planters, their families and friends enjoying a picnic before leaving on a trip to World's End.

Three planters on furlough in London - Speldewinde, Goonewardene and Perera.

Group photo taken in c. 1950 showing a new tea estate manager being welcomed and the old manager being farewelled by estate staff. I don't know the name of the estate (could have been in either Haputale or Halgranoya), but the new manager (sitting in the front row with umbrella) is G. Speldewinde, my uncle.

This bungalow was occupied by a Mr J. Molligoda and his family, and he went on to becoming a Visiting Agent. I think this bungalow is either in Haputale or Nuwara Eliya.

Not sure of the location but I think this planters bungalow is either in Haputale or Nuwara Eliya.
