Over the past few months I've been compiling historic pictures from many different websites.

The road going to the left leads to a Church. The building straight down has now been converted into a hotel, POPEYE'S is the name I think. All these buildings are now restaurants.

The farthest hill is now very much over crowded, buildings all over the place.

i remember even until early eighties the minorities were living side by side with us , in our neighbourhood there were qadiayanis , christians and hindus ... no one uses to bother them .. than the mohallah and school kids suddenly started calling them kufar and non-muslims ..
