Fort St. David in Cuddalore district, which was once the second seat of power of the British in south India after Fort St. George and housed their top echelons, is awaiting restoration.
The Fort stood witness to Cuddalore’s glorious past and frequent battles between the British and the French. But no photographic evidence is available of the original structure, says N. Sethuraman, Assistant Professor of History, Periyar Government Arts College, Cuddalore. All that remains now are the remnants of the two-storey structure.
However, if things go as planned, the Fort could be restored to its glory in the coming months.
