Picture taken about 1944 at Madras (?). Note what appears to be a tram waiting at the crossing. The next photo is an enlargement of the train and tram.
Any more details or comments very welcome.
From the family album of my friend Chris Ward - probably taken by his late father (David Churchill)

I think Harish is right. The building dome visible on the top left must be Hotel Picnic. I also have a feeling the picture was taken at a height from the stairs of some FOB.

I think this location is just opposite to the Chennai Corporate (Rippon) building. The huge, white wall on the right side is the old Central Jail. Also visible is the mosque which is adjecent to the now extended BG platform of Park. The train is actually going towards Egmore and the Tram is heading to Chintadripet. This place now has a FOB.
