FORT. The huge green park in front of the Bombay University and High Court was once a seafront esplanade. The land from here to Marine Drive was reclaimed in the 1920s. This area had served as the boundary of the British fort ­ it was earmarked for development after Independence, but local people campaigned to preserve the area as a public park. Today it is one of Mumbai's best loved public spaces, the setting for hundreds of impromptu cricket matches every afternoon.
