Jackson in about 1868, An interesting piece in the British Library in Dunlop Smith Collection: Sir Charles Aitchison Album of Views in India and Burma. The Cantonment Gardens were situated immediately to the south-west of the Shwe Dagon Pagoda within the military cantonment. They were planned in 1854-56 by William Scott of the Calcutta Bontanic Gardens and laid out by the city's Public Works Department. This was a popular view of the gardens. With a summerhouse to the left and a rustic wooden bridge to the right, it is centred on the spire of the Shwe Dagon on the skyline, and its reflection in the lake. A gilded bell-shaped stupa, the pagoda can be glimpsed from all over Rangoon due to its elevated postion on Singuttara Hill.
