Nagerbazar is a locality inSouth Dumdum ofNorth 24 Parganas district in theIndianstate ofWest Bengal. It is one of the largest markets in the Dum Dum area.[1] It is a part of the area covered byKolkata Metropolitan Development Authority (KMDA).[2][3]
Clive House is located on Rastraguru Avenue at Ramgarh, Nagerbazar. It is mired in controversy. It is thought of as the firstpucca brick and cement building in the Northern fringes ofKolkata, possibly built by the Portuguese. Now, some people are saying that it was the hunting lodge of an Indian prince or noble man (and so where was the jungle?) What is definitely known is that it was used by British soldiers when they first started coming into the country and thenRobert Clive took it over, renovated it, added a floor to the single-storeyed building and made it his country house (Some people refer to it as his residence, which appears doubtful) around 1757-60. The house is located on a raised ground. In the otherwise flat surroundings it is even thought of as a mound or a hill. The more interesting part of the story is that "on excavation of Clive House, coins, terracotta figures, sculpture, potteries etc. and information of a Portuguese Fort were found." The articles found could be of theSen period but some people think that it could have links with the 2,000 years/ more older civilisation unearthed earlier atChandraketugarh. Clive House is under theArchaeological Survey of India since 2004, but squatters inside and outside Clive House have hindered restoration work.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
It is flanked byNetaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport in the north,Dum Dum railway station andDum Dum metro station in the west, area ofBaguiati and adjoining areas ofVIP Road in the east and the posh locality ofDum Dum Park andLake Town in the south.
