Finished a fascinating tour of Chinatown in Kolkata with @immersivetrails. Inspite of the 40°c temperature, Chelsea McGill gave us a historical snapshot based on their research.
The walk took as to two temples and other historical buildings that housed local and Chinese revels fighting Imperialism here and in China.
Ended the tour with a simple but sumptuous lunch at Sei Vui restaurant.
@immersivetrails Fascinating but makes sense. All those ships coming in empty and going back filled with goods from Bengal. I remember most of MG Road paved with these bricks. Wonder if the stone was quarried in this brick shape or if that was done later for paving.
@immersivetrails On 16 January 1861, this hotel was the meeting venue of Maharaja Duleep Singh & his mother Maharani Jindan. They met after over a decade of separation.
Interesting!
The Spence’s Hotel established in Calcutta in 1830 was the first European style luxury hotel in Asia. In its water closets, room-service bells and plush cafes Spence’s was the yardstick of luxury.
