In this one-of-a-kind book, Asiff Hussein takes a walk down memory lane through the “Golden Stretch” of Colombo comprising of Colpetty, Bambalapitiya and Wellawatte, which emerged from humble beginnings and transformed into the plush downtown areas they are today.

This work is beautifully illustrated with rare, vintage monochrome and colour photographs and sketches that add to the captivating story of arguably, Colombo’s most vibrant precincts.
