Lucknow,

Bailey Guard Gate, Lucknow

Central gate in Lucknow nearly destroyed during the final battles for the city in 1858.

Bailey Gate in Lucknow was one of the iconic monuments of the Raj, subject of countless photographs and postcards. It represented the re-conquest of India against great odds in the spring of 1858 when the British stormed and took Lucknow under heavy fire. It was preserved in a garden for posterity.
