coronation bridge/Baghpool or tiger bridge 

History of coronation bridge:- coronation bridge is a most attractive place in north bengal. so many tourist and local people are visited this place in every day. It was named to commemorate the coronation of king george VI and queen elizabeth in 1937 and was completed in 1941 at a cost of rs-4 lakhs. the foundation stone of the bridge was laid by jon Anderson , the-then Governor of Bengal in 1937.

This is a the picture of construction coronation bridge.Locals call the bridge Baghpool, meaning tiger bridge, because of the two tiger statues (bagh actually means tiger) at one entrance of the bridge. John Chambers, the last British executive Engineer of the Darjeeling Division Public Works Department (PWD), carried out the design, drawing and planning of the bridge. Messrs J.C. Gammon, from Bombay, was the contractor. The bridge was built on the Reinforced Concrete system. Since it was not possible to obtain support from the Teesta river bed due to the depth and current of water, the entire bridge was supported by a fixed arch, which had its two ends fixed on rock layers on either side of the river. "Given its architectural and historical value, the bridge should be declared a heritage site. Traffic should be regulated and maintenance work carried out properly,"
