British-era ruins

The British-era ruins in India refer to the remnants of buildings and structures built during the British colonial period in India, which lasted from 1858 to 1947. Many of these buildings were constructed to serve administrative, military, or residential purposes, and they reflect the architecture and style of the time.

Some of the notable British-era ruins on Ross Island include:

• The Chief Commissioner’s House: This grand building was the residence of the British chief commissioner of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. It is now in ruins but visitors can explore the remains of the building.

• The Government House: This building was used by the British as the administrative headquarters of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Today, it is in ruins but visitors can explore the remains of the building.

• The Anglican Church: This church was built in the 19th century by the British and is one of the few buildings on the island that has been partially restored.

• The Bakery: This building was used by the British to make bread for their troops and is now in ruins.

• The Cemetery: The cemetery on Ross Island is the final resting place of many British officials who served in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands during the colonial period.

Visiting Ross Island and exploring these British-era ruins can provide a unique glimpse into India’s colonial past and the history of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
