Greening a colourful garden

Many Old Martinians will remember Mr Hugh Dignum's well-tended colourful garden. Today it is a jungle of bushes. The present occupant is the college bursar.

Demolition under way

Demolition of Hazratganj police station

Lucknow's Hazratganj police station that opened in 1909 and was
perhaps the only PS to have a portcullis, was demolished in July to
make way for a multi-storied parking lot. The city's adjoining main
fire station will follow shortly. The police station has been moved to
a much narrower road, Valmiki Marg (formerly Rutledge Road). The fire
station will move to the same area.
