Following The Guns of Fort Siloso, and other interesting Museum threads posted on the Forum recently, here are some pics of Fort Cornwallis established by the British in Penang in 1788.
I find it interesting that the once Colonial countries, take extreme pride in their heritage, when in a lot of cases, the actual Colonial Powers tend to let their own heritage at home fall into decay. The other thing to consider here is that the climate, generally wet and humid, is not conducive to preserving metal and material objects. |
