These original aerial photographs of old Lahore or the Inner City were shot in 1933. Zahra Mahmoodah has generously contributed them from a recently acquired album for Lahore Nama.
We invite the readers to identify the landmarks and buildings that are captured in the above photograph. Lahore remains the most beautiful city and in the 1930s it was surely a splendour!

Apologies for the technical glitch. The photos are now visible. Let us know what you think of them and also identify the landmarks. cheers, RR
In the foreground it is GPO and far right is KE Medical College.
Opposite GPO is Stae Bank of India. In the middle it seems tobe YMCA Building. Long live Lahore Lahore Aay.
Agha Saheb, you know the city so well :)
@Agha) The building with the minarets on the right is Patiala Block from KE and the farthest corners on the back are Faridkot Block and on the right Newton Hall. Neela Gumbad is visible opposite Patiala Block. N the road is the one leading from Anarkali to the Mall.
