英國(guó)大使館舊址。

1938年10月，時(shí)任英國(guó)駐華大使卡爾爵士飛抵重慶設(shè)館，大使館先后駐領(lǐng)事巷、鵝嶺正街、南岸區(qū)馬鞍山。重慶大轟炸時(shí)期，由于日軍對(duì)重慶實(shí)行的無(wú)差別轟炸政策，外國(guó)駐重慶各使領(lǐng)館也不能幸免。而在整個(gè)抗戰(zhàn)期間，被日軍轟炸次數(shù)最多、損失最為嚴(yán)重的便是英國(guó)大使館，為躲避日軍轟炸，英國(guó)大使館在1941年將主要活動(dòng)地點(diǎn)遷至南岸。但在領(lǐng)事巷原大使館周圍，仍有一些臨時(shí)辦事機(jī)構(gòu)處理相關(guān)業(yè)務(wù)。

1941年7月至1946年，英國(guó)大使館遷設(shè)于南岸區(qū)南山黃桷椏文峰段，該建筑曾一度作為德國(guó)大使館館址。而在大使館附近的南岸區(qū)白耳山山峰，還設(shè)有大使館工作人員的居住區(qū)。

英國(guó)大使館舊址地處南岸區(qū)與巴南區(qū)交界處的小山坡上，周圍一片森林。為一棟中西式平房，坐西向東，土木結(jié)構(gòu)，磚柱，共5間房，呈“一”字形排列，面積約300平方米。

1942年2月至1946年1月間，先后有薛穆、史密斯、賽遠(yuǎn)士3位英國(guó)駐華大使在此辦公。雖然在日軍對(duì)重慶進(jìn)行大轟炸過(guò)程中，英國(guó)駐重慶使領(lǐng)館損失慘重，并經(jīng)歷多次搬遷，但時(shí)任英國(guó)駐華大使卡爾爵士及后來(lái)繼任的薛穆爵士都堅(jiān)持駐渝辦公，為維系戰(zhàn)時(shí)中英關(guān)系作出了貢獻(xiàn)。

新中國(guó)成立后，這里曾為重慶陪都制藥廠產(chǎn)權(quán)，013年被列為重慶市第七批國(guó)家級(jí)文物保護(hù)單位。

In October 1938, then British Ambassador to China Sir Archibald Clark Kerr flew to Chongqing to set up the embassy. The embassy was first stationed in Consul Lane, then on E’ling Main Street and Ma'anshan of Nan 'an District. During the bombing of Chongqing, foreign embassies and consulates in Chongqing were not spared due to the indiscriminate bombing policy of the Japanese army. During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the British embassy was the one that suffered the most bombing and losses. In order to avoid Japanese bombing, the British embassy moved its main business to the Nan’an District in 1941. However, around the former embassy in Lingshi Lane, there are still some temporary offices dealing with related businesses.

From July 1941 to 1946, the British Embassy was moved to the Wenfeng section of Huangjueya in Nan 'an District, which was once the site of the German Embassy. Near the embassy, there was also a residential area for embassy staff in the Bai’er mountain peak in the Nan’an District.

The former site of the British embassy, surrounded by a forest, is located on a hillside at the junction of Nan’an district and Banan district. It is a Chinese and western-style one-story house with a civil structure and brick columns. It faces the east, and has five rooms arranged in a bar shape, covering an area of about 300 square meters.

From February 1942 to January 1946, three British ambassadors to China including Sir Horace James Seymour worked here successively. Although the British embassy and consulate in Chongqing suffered heavy losses and experienced many relocations during the Japanese bombing of Chongqing, the then British ambassador to China, Sir Archibald Clark Kerr, and his successor, Sir Horace James Seymour, insisted on working in Chongqing and contributed to the Sino-British relations during the war.

After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Chongqing Peidu Pharmaceutical Factory once owned the property right. In 2013, it was listed among the seventh batch of national cultural relics protection units in Chongqing.
