MURREE HILLS CHERAT INDIA 1940

Cherat 1940









Murree Hills 1940










Another selection of my father George Spencer's Indian photos in what would now be Pakistan.
Well I did manage to get out today and did some truck filming, still camera battery ran out and spare was dead which was a faux pas but got scenes done at both Ross on Wye and Monmouth, just one driver who took exception , reckoned I'd filmed him years ago, he didn't like it then and not now, all that from his cab , with the window open and snow on the ground, who could be bothered. Anyway very much the odd man out as everyone else was superb, lots of horn and lights flashing and very busy scenes.
The long wait for the new editing suite starts, obviously nothing will happen until I'm up and running including Youtube clips.

Greetings from Pakistan. Fascinating photos from a bygone era. As a history enthusiast and a vintage photo collector of that era. I am very interested to know more about George Spencer's remarkable photo tour of what is now Pakistan. I recognise the locations which your dear grandfather had documented in 1940s.
Best Wishes,
A Jan
