    3. September 20, 2012 An old giant, forgotten Tucked away in a quiet corner near the rear entrance of the Kozhikode railway station here is a Victorian era building, which has quite a bit of history attached to it. But very few know about its existence. Rather ironic for a structure, which is a stone's throw away the city's major transit point. For a recreation club, 'Railway Institute' is an odd name. Built in 1888 by the British at a cost of Rs.14,465, the place oozes old world charm. Right near the front corridor is a small library housing a few thousand books in various languages. http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-kerala/article3916724.ece ---- Harshawardhan_Bosham Nimkhedkar
