9580 A view of the St Paul.s Church in Amritsar.
The British changed the face of the city by constructing various edifices, many of which are still unscathed. Tribune correspondent Charanjit Singh Teja and lensman Sunil Kumar uncover the incredible signs of architectures’ longevity:
During the British rule, the city witnessed significant growth, in terms of infrastructure. Large buildings were constructed inside the walled city and outside from the Circular Road. Immediately after taking over the city, the British started raising European style of architecture. They demolished gates and boundary wall constructed by Maharaja Ranjit Singh. Three years after annexation of Punjab, they constructed mission school in Bazaar Kaserian in 1852. About a decade later, the Clock Tower (Ghanta Ghar) was erected in the north of Darbar Sahib. It was later removed after opposition from Sikhs.
