Have you heard of Pegu Road? Why would you have reason to fear this house at Pegu Road if you were a kids growing up in the 1970s?
The house at Pegu Road
Jerome, who made several visits to the house, talks about the dread of visiting Pegu Road:
One of the few things I really hated when I was attending primary school was the regular visits I made to Pegu Road. It was for me, something that seemed to be too regular for my liking, and the appearance of the dreaded sight of the white bus that was used to ferry us there parked in the school car park wasn’t something that I looked forward to. It was to Pegu Road that as school children, we would be brought over to by the class, spending part of the morning or afternoon as it may be, in an excursion that usually resulted in some pain and discomfort.
What was in that building? Here’s a hint: it’s not just scary for kids, but also some adults too! Find out the answer in Jerome’s post here (although the tags will probably give away the reason too)! If you’re wondering about the name Pegu Road, you may perhaps get a clue from the names of the other nearby roads: Mandalay Road, Martaban Road, Akyab Road and Minbu Road. Sound familiar? These roads are all named after cities in Myanmar.
