Photograph taken by Fransis Firth in 1875 from right bank of Veth looking Upstream towards the Six Pier wooden cantilever Baramula Old Bridge. It had stone archways leading on to the bridge.Baramula Qadeem & Dogra Sarai ( which is no longer there now) can also be seen on right side of Photograph.

1970 The narrow roads of downtown Srinagar.
The picture shows a fresh look of Tar laid on it! So refreshing the look used to be of a freshly laid Tar road! One would take the molten Tar and play with it till we had to request the very short in supply "Metchi Teel" to wash our hands with !
These were the best time. There is no place for concrete jungle in Kashmir. It had to be the way it was. Still we have time..please don't spoil it's ecological balance. This state is good as it is complete nature's gift.
