Site of the Bibi Ghar Massacre where up to 200 British women and children were killed and their remains thrown into a well. Photograph [665 × 548] of the well taken in 1858, one year after the Siege of Cawnpore.
Several mutineers initially refused to kill innocent civilians, so local butchers were hired to hack to death and dismember the victims with cleavers while onlookers stood by.
'Some Highlanders followed the trail of blood towards the trees to find Bhudree Nath leaning against the well. Following his gaze they found the bodies. "..the whole of the bodies were naked and the limbs had been separated.." a "mangled heap" of bodies, limbs in various states of putrefaction.'
