EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the haunting beauty of the Havelock Residency in India, circa 1890s. The large, westernised building, now in disrepair, stands as a testament to the passage of time. Ivy clings to the crumbling walls, adding a touch of greenery to the scene. In the foreground, a man sits calmly on a horse-drawn carriage, while another man stands beside the horse, perhaps waiting for passengers. Sir Henry Havelock, a former student of Dartford Grammar School in England, once called this residence his home. Havelock, a distinguished military figure, died within these walls. The historical significance of this site is palpable, adding to its allure. The Havelock Residency, with its ivy-covered walls and fallen sections, stands as a poignant reminder of the rich history of the British Raj in India. This photograph, part of the Boswell Collection, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the stories and experiences that unfolded within its walls.
