The Main road leading to the Lighthouse, Fort, Dutch, Portuguese and British graveyards. The ‘protected’ monuments have been over run by hutments.
The Main road. Poor sanitation and illegal dumping of rubbish greet tourists who come to see the remnants of a a bygone era, the Fort, and the graveyards of its former inhabitants, the Dutch, Portuguese and British.
The Fort.
A well protected sign posted by the Archeological Survey of India, outside the Fort, that warns anyone defacing the monument of imprisonment upto 3 months and a possible fine of Rs5000.
The rear of the St Thomas Fort – all that remains is the facade which in time may also disappear and leave no trace of the occupation by the Dutch, Portuguese and the British people.
A crane rusting away in the salty air, largely unnoticed by anyone!
