Senate House and Chepauk Fishing village

    A different view of  Senate House inaugurated in 1879. The  place where the house is situated was ealier part of  Nawabs Palace  and a saluting battery was situated there.  Whenever any high ranking dignitary used to visit the Palace  the guns will roar as a mark of respect.  The sea abetting the palace was home to a vibrant fishing community who were later shifted to  a place north of  George Town and thus was born Royapuram fishing village.  St.Peter used to be referred as Rayar and St.Peters church was constructed in 1828 by migrant fishermen community.
