This photograph shows the heart of Murree. Its layout is strikingly similar to other hill-stations, particularly Simla. As in the case of the Peshawar cantonment, spatial organisation mirrors political structure. The Anglican Holy Trinity Church is the crown of the hill-station. Alongside and just beneath it runs the Mall. Across the Mall from the church are the European or Parsee-owned stores; and beneath on the steep hill side, is the native bazaar. Until 1947 when the subcontinent gained independence from Britain, and India and Pakistan were formed as separate countries, access to the Mall was restricted at various times of the day for non-Europeans.
