Maha Nuge Gardens
Maha Nuge Gardens is a private lane (street) located in the Kollupitiya district in the city of Colombo (Postal code - Colombo-3). Even though it is called a garden, nothing of any importance is grown here. The lane runs off the main Colombo highway called Galle Road, leading to the commercial district of Fort, via the Galle Face Green - a beautiful stretch of land by the sea. 'Temple Trees' the official residence of the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka is situated within walking distance of Maha Nuge Gardens.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://kermeey.blogspot.com/2006/02/kollupitiya-kaleidoscopic-cameo.html )〕 The imposing Cinnamon Grand Colombo Hotel (formerly the Lanka Oberoi) is adjacent to the properties.
Maha Nuge Gardens was the hub of politics, music, commerce and the media from the 1960s-1970s - many distinguished members of Sri Lankan society resided here. The lane is owned by the powerful Bandaranaike Family. To this day it remains in the hands of the wider family.
==Sir Anthony Oliphant==
The street was previously known as 'Captains Gardens,' and 1st Lane, Colpetty. Sir Harry Dias Bandaranaike bought the property 'Alcove' from Sir Anthony Oliphant, Chief Justice of Ceylon, who lived here with his family.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thepeerage.com/p34933.htm )〕 during the British Era. Sir Anthony Oliphant and his son Laurence Oliphant have been credited with introducing tea to Ceylon and being the first to grow tea plants on the Oliphant Estate in Nuwara Eliya.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://artandtea.wordpress.com/ )〕 His son Laurence who became a well-known author and international traveller, spent his early childhood in Captains Gardens.
