The Residency- Lucknow

Image
रेजीडेंसी की स्थापना 1775 ई में लखनऊ में हुई। नवाब आसफ़ुद्दौला द्वारा इसका निर्माण ब्रिटिश अफसरों के रहने के लिए शुरू कराया गया था। रेजीडेंसी के कई भवन पहले स्वतंत्रता संग्राम के दौरान हुई गोलाबरी से छतिग्रस्त हुए थे और अन्य कई भवन पूरी तरह धराशायी हो गए थे। युद्ध के दौरान अंग्रेज रेजीडेंसी में 86 दिन छुपे रहे। स्वतंत्रता संग्राम में हुई गोली-बारी के निशां आज भी वहां लगभग सभी इमारतों पर देखे जा सकते हैं। रेजिडेंसी में मौजूद चर्च के पास करीब 2000 अंग्रेज अधिकारियों और उनके परिवार की कब्रगाह है। वहीं पर मौजूद सर लॉरेंस की कब्र पर लिखा है ‘यहां पर सत्ता का वो पुत्र दफन है जिसने अपनी ड्यूटी के लिए अपनी जान कुर्बान कर दी थी’। इसी कब्रगाह के पास मौजूद एक दूसरी कब्र पर लिखा है ‘रो मत मेरे बेटे, मैं मरा नहीं हूं, मैं यहां सो रहा हूं’। #TheResidency
