Signage, Cochin Street 公开 Deposited
Before Ballard Estate was developed, a row of jetties served as docking points for boats arriving from ports on the Konkan and Malabar coast, such as Cochin, Mangalore, Kumta, and Calicut. Consequently, the street that led to the jetty was named after these places. Some streets have been renamed but some, like Cochin Street, have retained the old name.
