The enchained tree at Khyber Rifles Army Mess.
Over more than hundred years ago in 1898 ,during the high noon of the British Empire, army officer James Squid saw an old tree and thought that it was lurching towards him. The officer, who was reportedly intoxicated, felt threatened by the tree and asked the mess sergeant to arrest it.
The mess sergeant followed the officer's orders and chained the offending tree. The Brits have parted long time ago but maybe the chains are a safe guard for this tree.
