Een stukje geschiedenis
The garden was originally built in the 1860s as part of the Elphinstone Circle redevelopment, named after Governor John Elphinstone. It was later renamed in honor of Sir William Horniman, a British journalist and editor who championed Indian independence. The surrounding buildings were designed in the neoclassical style, forming a grand urban ensemble.
