Nearby the Chowk Yadgaar is a Cunningham Clock Tower It was built in 1900 "in commemoration of the Diamond jubilee of Her Majesty the Queen Empress", but. is named after Sir George Cunningham who came along somewhat later. Cunningham started his Asian career as the political agent assigned to North Waziristan (in the Tribal Areas) and advanced to become governor of NWFP in 1937-46 and again after Independence in 1947-8.
