The Residency is actually a group of buildings that were built in 1800 A.D by the then Nawab of Oudh, Nawab Saadat Ali Khan. It was constructed in order to serve as the residence for the British Resident General who was a representative in the court of Nawab. In 1857 the place witnessed a prolonged battle which is also known as Siege of Lucknow.
The Residency has been maintained as it was at the time of the final relief, and the shattered walls are still scarred by cannon shot. Even since Indian Independence, little has changed. The ruined building is surrounded by lawns and flowerbeds and is a tourist attraction now a days. The cemetery at the nearby ruined church has the graves of 2000 men, women and children, including that of Sir Henry Lawrence who died defending the empire. There is a weathered epitaph near the grave of Sir Lawrence that reads "Here lays the son of Empire who tried to do his duty".

Repousse (Ray Poo Say) -- What is that you say?!?
"What is a repousse? ""Repousse"" is a French word that means to push from the back. In this low tech class, we'll form decorative metalwork from flat sheet metal. You'll get hands on in the first fifteen minutes of class and make something beautiful to adorn a wood or metal project, a crystal decanter, a Christmas tree or ??? You are limited only by your imagination!
Using simple tools and basic techniques, students will gain a lot of the skill necessary to create their own decorations from flat copper sheet. You can take home a nice monogram for decorating a jewelry box or photo album, make a decorative heart to use on a birthday gift, create a jewelry pendant, a metal plaque or well, you decide what it should be.
If you love working metal but have never tried repousse, or if you've never tried any metalwork at all, you'll have a great time and I'll make sure that you leave with some new knowledge and something beautiful that you made. "

Nowadays a familiar haunt of lovebirds. That is Henry Lawrence's memorial.
The Residency is actually a group of buildings that were built in 1800 A.D by the then Nawab of Oudh, Nawab Saadat Ali Khan. It was constructed in order to serve as the residence for the British Resident General who was a representative in the court of Nawab. The palace was rather a sleepy residence for decades but then came an incident, which put it on the world map.
The year 1857 will always be mentioned in the chronicles of history because of its dramatic sequence of events. The year saw the Sepoy Mutiny, which is also sometimes referred as 'The First War of Indian Independence'. Lucknow also became one of the seats of that uprising. The Residency became one of the most talked about battlement during the siege of Lucknow. The mutineers laid the siege on The Residency in early June that year. Nearly all the Europeans who resided in the city of Awadh took shelter in Residency. It is said that as many as 3500 people sought shelter during the siege. The siege continued for more than 140 days.
The saga of the siege of 'The Residency' will go down in the history of India as a brave effort done by handful of Men, women and children to thaw the efforts of mutineers. The residence of the palace held together during the continuous shelling that lasted for a month. The canon balls withered the walls of residency but the palace held miraculously. Sir Henry Lawrence who bore the responsibility 3500 human lives undertook the defense and counter initiative. The brave-heart fall on the last days of siege. The reinforcement force rescued the palace after 5 months.
The redbrick ruins are peaceful now a days, surrounded by lawns and flowerbeds, but thousands died during the months-long siege. The Residency has been maintained as it was at the time of the final relief, and the shattered walls are still scarred by cannon shot. Even since Independence, little has changed. A brooding silence engulfs the ruins and one almost expects the ghosts of the dead to suddenly materialize and flit across the rooms. The cemetery at the nearby ruined church has the graves of 2000 men, women and children, including that of Sir Henry Lawrence who died defending the empire. There is a weathered epitaph near the grave of Sir Lawrence that reads " Here lays the son of Empire who tried to do his duty".

Dug up some old photos of Lucknow...
In 1857, during the Indian Mutiny or the First War of Independence (depending on which history book you read), the Lucknow Residency was the scene of fierce fighting and more can be read at the wikipedia article on Siege of Lucknow.
This is a postcard taken of the Residency at Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India, c. 1850-1870s. It is also called the British Residency and the British Complex. Construction began in 1780 and ended in 1800, but today lies in ruins. It marks the site of the Siege of Lucknow (also known as the Indian Rebellion of 1857), where over 2,000 British men died after attempting to seek refuge inside. The Residency of Lucknow is now a famous historical landmark.
