Masjid Wazir Khan, inside Delhi Gate., 1928
Scope and Contents
153 x 110 mm. Showing rubbish and encroachments. ‘Requirements: The protection of historical and beautiful buildings and their surroundings. An example of such a need is the Masjid Wazir Khan inside the Delhi Gate. The survey plans show clearly the quadrangle which originally existed outside it. This quadrangle is now full of temporary booths, and the small open space that is left is largely filled with a mound of rubbish, thrown out from the courtyard of the Masjid (see Y3022QQ/13-15). The booths and rubbish should be removed and the quadrangle tidied as an amenity for the public and a setting to this building’, ‘A note for the use of the Lahore Improvement Trust Committee’, (Lahore, 1928), p. 7.
