2. Thalassery Fort
Place Description
Tellicherry Fort is located in Thalassery, a town in the Kannur District of Kerala state in south India. Thalassery was once a significant European trading center in Kerala. The fort is situated on a group of low wooden hills that run down to the sea and are protected by natural waters. It served as the main gateway for the trade of rich spices, hill products, and timber from the vast inter-land.
The French were the first to arrive in Tellicherry for trading, establishing a strong presence in Mahé, Puducherry, which is located 5 km south of Tellicherry town. Towards the end of the 17th century, the British opened a factory north of Tellicherry. They later acquired a site from Vadakkelamkur, the de facto ruler of Kolathunad, and established a factory at Tellicherry in 1708. However, the Udayamangalam branch of the Kolathiri family and Korangoth Nair, the local chieftain, opposed this action and launched an attack that caused significant damage to English property. To safeguard their trade activities, the British built a fort around the surrounding hills of Tellicherry with the support of the Kolathiri Raja. The French occupation of Mahé, Puducherry in 1725 compelled the British Company to strengthen the fortification and establish a stronghold on the Malabar Coast.
