The Strand opened in 1901. It was built by the British entrepreneur John Darwood but later acquired by the Sarkies brothers, who owned a number of luxury hotels in the Far East, including the Raffles Hotel in Singapore and the Eastern & Oriental Hotel in Penang, Malaysia. During the colonial period, The Strand was one of the most luxurious hotels in the British Empire. The Sarkies brothers sold The Strand to Rangoon restaurateur Peter Bugalar Aratoon and Ae Amovsie in 1925. The hotel underwent a major renovation in 1937. during World War II, following the Japanese occupation of Burma, the hotel was used briefly to quarter Japanese troops. After Burma achieved independence in 1948, the hotel was neglected by post-colonial governments. Following a total renovation, The Strand reopened in 1993 as an all-suite, top-of-the-range boutique hotel. In February 2019, The Strand Hotel has become the first hotel in Myanmar to receive a commemorative blue plaque from the Yangon Heritage Trust in acknowledgment of its significance in the historical and cultural heritage of Rangoon.

Named in honour of the then Chief Commissioner of British Burma, Sir Albert Fytche, the park dates back to1868. Fytche Square was previously a vacant, swampy plot originally known as Tank Square, which was cleared and laid out as a public recreation ground. In 1885, J. Short landscaped the park properly. The park is now named after General Maha Bandula who fought against the British in the First Anglo-Burmese War (1824–1826).
The photograph shows a view over Fytche Square, looking towards the Sule Pagoda and the City Hall on the right side. In the background, the Shwedagon Pagoda can be seen silhouetted on the horizon.

The Sule Pagoda was made the center of Yangon by Lt. Alexander Fraser of the Bengal Engineers, who created the present street layout of Yangon soon after the British occupation in the middle of the 19th century. The Sule Pagoda is a milestone from which all addresses to the north were measured. The 48-metre tall Mon-style chedi (pagoda) is unusual in that its octagonal shape continues right up to the bell and inverted bowl below the spire.
According to Burmese legend, the site where the Sule Pagoda now stands was once the home of a powerful nat (spirit) named Sularata (the Sule Nat). The king of the Nats, Sakka, wished to help the legendary king Okkalap build a shrine for the Buddha's sacred hair-relic on the same site where three previous Buddhas had buried sacred relics in past ages. Unfortunately, these events had happened so long ago that not even Sakra knew exactly where the relics were buried. The Sule nat, however, who was so old that his eyelids had to be propped up with trees in order for him to stay awake, had witnessed the great event. The gods, Nats, and humans of the court of Okkalapa therefore gathered around the Sule Ogre and asked him the location, which he eventually remembered.

The chessboard layout of Rangoon with Strand road on the riverfront was planned in 1852 by Dr William Montgomerie’s. Having learnt his city planning skills from Sir Stamford Raffles during the founding of Singapore in 1819 he considered himself qualified to give an opinion of the best plan to laying out the new town of Rangoon. Strand Road was considered the most valuable asset of the place. A Chinese temple was built on Strand Road in 1861, the Town Church in 1865.

The first tramways in Rangoon consisted of three standard gauge routes of the Rangoon Steam Tramway Company, which opened on 4th March 1884. Steam trams and trailers were from the Falcon Engine & Car Works Ltd. of Loughborough. The steam tramway company was owned by J.W.Darwood & Co., Rangoon dealers of wood and horses. In 1889 John Darwood, of Scottish descent, sold the steam tramway to a Calcutta-based company, but by 1899 the operation had become bankrupt. By 1902 the canny Darwood bought a 42-year concession for electric tramways and lighting. In 1905 he registered the Rangoon Electric Tramway & Supply Company Ltd. in Liverpool, with a share issue in 1906 of £500,000. Having transferred his concession to the new company, Darwood then took a seat on the board. The first electric trams operated on 15th December 1906 with the last of the new routes opening on 12th March 1908. This brought the total of the system to five routes and 18.5 miles, with offices, depots, and a generating station (which also provided power for local electric lighting) in Lower Kemmendine Road, Ahlone, to the west of the system.

The Pegu Club was founded in 1871 in a bungalow in Cheape Road (now Ma Naw Hari Street). It was a Victorian-style Gentleman's Club. The Pegu Club moved to its present location on Prome Road (now Pyay Rd.) in 1882. Rudyard Kipling, as a young newspaperman, visited Pegu Club when he was in Yangon in 1889. There were large card rooms and reading rooms, and a billiard room with four tables. A tennis court was also maintained. The Pegu Club became famous for its signature drink the Pegu Club Cocktail which was introduced in the 1920s. The cocktail is made with London dry gin, lime juice, orange curacao, a dash of orange bitters, and Angostura bitters.
The club sits on an enormous plot of land, with a surviving original teak structure that was greatly extended over the years, including a large hall built for a visit by Britain's Prince of Wales, later King Edward VIII, in 1922; and teak accommodation blocks added for use by club members.
When the Imperial Japanese Army took Yangon from the British in March 1942 the compound became an officers' club. After World War II, Britain's Royal Air Force tried to revamp the premises but after Myanmar's independence in 1948, the club passed to the new country's armed forces, whose officers built squash courts on the grounds. The building was used as a tax office for some years before being nationalized in 1975, although it had officially closed a decade earlier.
From then until 2018, the club was all but forgotten when finally a restoration project went underway. The Pegu Club building is now recognized as one of the heritage sites of Yangon by having the Blue Plaque given by Yangon Heritage Trust.

In 1867, when Rangoon was still in its infancy as a commercial centre, a handful of Germans gathered together and formed a national club. A small Bungalow was purchased on Commissioner Road (now Bogyoke Aung San Street). At first, there were some 15 to 20 members, but there was a gradual and steady increase in the numbers, and the first premises gradually grew to be inadequate to meet the growing requirements. Around 1890 a new building was erected on the site. It resembled a medieval German castle, a style popular in Germany in those days. There was ample accommodation, including a reading room, a card room, a drawing room, a ladies' room, a billiard room with three tables, and a large hall suitable for dancing and large functions.
The German Club was a social club, as distinct from a residential club. Attached to German Club were ample and well-kept grounds. three tennis courts and a bowling alley were provided for the recreation of the members. In 1910 there were about fivty members, a large number considering that there were not more than perhaps seventy-five Germans in Rangoon eligible for election.
During WW I most Germans got expelled from Burma and the British authorities auction off the building to the St. Joseph Convent.
The building still exists today although it lost most part of its main tower during Nargis.

The Gymkhana Club had the distinction of being the most important centre of encouragement of sports in separate sections for cricket, football, hockey, and tennis, in addition to subsidising polo and racket.
The building in the photograph was erected in 1904 and the accommodation includes a ballroom, a ladies' room, bar, bowling alley, and a residence for the secretary. Three times a week before dinner a military band discoursed selections of music, on two of these evenings for dancing, and there were functions at the club at frequent intervals.
The Club was damaged during the war and then closed down in the 1950s. The structure still exists today and is now part of the Yangon Children's Hospital.

The Secretariat building, was the home and administrative seat of British Burma, in downtown Yangon, Burma. It was where Aung San and 6 cabinet ministers were assassinated on 19 July 1947, now commemorated as Burmese Martyrs' Day.
Construction began in 1889. The central building was completed in 1902, while the complex's eastern and western wings were finished in 1905.
The towers on two of the four corner buildings as well as the imposing central dome collapsed during a severe earthquake in 1930 and have not been rebuild.
The photograph was taken during the construction of the secretariat. The Sule Pagoda is visible in the background as is the town church on Strand Road which was demolished in 1891 not long after this photograph was taken.

The Municipal Office was originally known as Ripon Hall and used as a dance hall until 1886 when the local British government purchased it to use it as Municipal Office. In the late 1920s construction of the new town hall began and was completed in 1936. The only surviving building of the picture is the Rowe & Co. Department Store. It was built in 1910 and was known as the Harrods of the East. The building is now occupied by the Aya Bank. The Immanuel Baptist Church built in 1885 was destroyed during WWII and rebuilt in the 1950s.

In 1859 it was reported that "The Commissioner of the province recorded the erection, at Rangoon, of the iron church sent out by the Home Government, the cost up to date of report, was 62,300 rupees, but an enclosure wall was required, and it is estimated that the total expense will be about 65,000 rupees."
There have been several complaints about the heat inside the building. John Ebenezer Marks for example wrote in his book 40 years in Burma: "The church is a large iron structure. It used to be said of it that, with a little alteration, it would make a capital goods-shed for a railway-station, and that if you closed the doors and windows you could bake bread in it during the middle of the day, in the hottest months."

St. Mary's Cathedral is located on the corner of Bogyoke Aung San Road and Bo Aung Kyaw Street. It is the largest cathedral in Burma. The red brick cathedral was designed by Dutch architect Joseph Cuypers, son of Pierre Cuypers. Construction began in 1895 and was completed on 19 November 1899 under a land grant from the Government of India, whilst Lower Burma was a province of British India.

Built in the 1860s, this is thought to be Yangon's oldest surviving Muslim place of worship. The street on which it stands used to be known as Mogul Street (now Shwe Bontha St.) and was at the centre of the Indian sector of the city.
India’s last Mughal emperor, Bahadur Shah Zafar, was exiled to Rangoon after the Indian Mutiny of 1857—the greatest and bloodiest challenge to British colonial rule at the time. Zafar brought with him a legion of courtiers and attendants. Many of the shopkeepers in this part of Yangon claim descent from the exiled court.
The mosque’s name suggests that it was built by Gujarati traders originating from or near Surat, quite possibly from the town of Rander opposite the Tapi River. Historical links between Rander and Myanmar survive to this day: many old homes in Rander are built with Burmese teak, and the culinary landscape features specialities brought back to India from “Burma Repatriates” during the Second World War as well as Ne Win’s nationalisation campaign in the 1960s. One still finds Rangooni parathas (deep-fried pieces of meat enveloped in a thin layer of wheat dough mixed with egg) and Khow Suey (traditionally a Shan noodle dish, and a close cousin of Thailand’s famous Khao Soi) in restaurants in Rander.

The Kheng Hock Keong Temple is the largest Chinese temple in Yangon. It was built by the Hokkien Chinese in 1861.
Many Chinese emigrated from Fujian by sea to Southeast Asia in the 19th century in connection with trade growth during the British colonial days.
The temple is dedicated to the Goddess Mazu, who protects traders, seafarers, and fishermen. Hokkien people often emigrated to become merchants—you will note the temple is near the port. In keeping with the temple founders’ aspirations, its name means “temple celebrating prosperity”.

This photograph could be easily mistaken with a photograph of the Kandawgyi Lake and the Shwedagon Pagoda. Not many people know that there was a sizeable lake at the Fytche Square (now Mahabandoola Garden) which was filled in in the 1920s. The Pagoda in the background is the Sule Pagoda and until the early 1850s the Sule Pagoda was situated on a small peninsula on the lake. During the development of Rangoon in 1855 part of the lake got filled in and in the 1860s a public park was created and named Fytche Square. The statue of Queen Victoria on the right was donated in 1896 by an Armenian businessman to show his loyalty to the British government. The Japanese removed the statue during WWII and replaced it with a war memorial which in turn was replaced by the independence monument.

Named in honour of the then Chief Commissioner of British Burma, Sir Albert Fytche, the park dates back to1868. Fytche Square was previously a vacant, swampy plot originally known as Tank Square, which was cleared and laid out as a public recreation ground. In 1885, J. Short landscaped the park properly. The park is now named after General Maha Bandula who fought against the British in the First Anglo-Burmese War (1824–1826). The photograph was taken from the portico of the Ripon Hall [Town Hall]. The houses along the streets made place for the High Court in 1911 and the Myanmar Foreign Trade Bank is now situated at the location of the Church you can see in the background.

This enormous teak structure was built in 1873 and located on Commissioner Road (Corner of Bogyoke Aung San Street & Shwedagon Pagoda Road). It was a very well-equipped institution by the standards of the time (although the ambulance in front of the building appears to be a bit slow).
When the new Yangon General Hospital opened in 1899 the old one was converted into the Hostel of the Burma Government Medical School and was still in use at least as late as 1938. Today Junction City is occupying the spot where once the Yangon General Hospital stood.

In the mid-1850s the Wallaces Brothers set up a business in Rangoon, shipping tea to Bombay. In 1863 the business was floated as “The Bombay Burmah Trading Corporation. Its equity was held by both Indian merchants along with the Wallace Brothers, who had the controlling interests. By the 1870s the company was a leading producer of teak in Burma and Siam, as well as having interests in cotton, oil exploration, and shipping. British motivations for the third Anglo-Burmese War were partly influenced by concerns of the BBTC. The Burmese state's conflict with the BBTC furnished British leaders with a pretext for conquest. By the 1880s Wallace Brothers had become a leading financial house in London. The Vissanji family purchased the company from the Wallace brothers around the time of Indian independence. In 1992, the BBTC acquired and merged in BCL Springs. Later, BBTC was acquired by the Wadia group based in Bombay.

This is how Rangoon looked when W. H. Marshall arrived there in 1854. He described in his book Four Years in Burma that during the Second Anglo-Burmese War, most of Rangoon was burned down and plans were made to modernize Rangoon. Temporary huts were erected to be pulled down as soon as construction of the modern city began. When Tripe arrived in Rangoon, the construction of new roads was well underway, but there were still remnants of the old town left.
