The southern end of
Park Street is where my college is. Right across the street is the Park Street police station in a gorgeous red brick building, very grand and very non-police-
thana-like! :) That actually reminds me of the Colaba
thana here in Bombay - with the same air of old-world charm and grandeur. :)
While I'm going to post some snaps of my old college soon, just a couple of steps away is the white house where the Bishop of Calcutta lives. And right next to it, is the chapter of the
Seventh Day Adventist Church in Calcutta. :)
... And in case you thought that good Christians only go for gorgeous gothic buildings, think again and get prepared for the monstrous granite
thing that is Assembly of God Church! :)
At the soutern end, you have the old Cemetery, a heritage site in its own right! This place has the funeral memorials/ monuments of some of the very first European inhabitants of the city, together with some notable people since then. Right in front, there's a huge plaque announcing that this is where the great
Bengal Renaissance poet and teacher,
Henry Louis Vivian Derozio, is buried.
