Description: | Photograph of the Commissariat Bungalow in Kasauli, from the Macnabb Collection (Col James Henry Erskine Reid): Album of miscellaneous views taken in 1885. Kasauli is a Hill Station in Himachal Pradesh, situated on the summit of a long ridge overlooking the Kalka valley at an elevation of 6,335 feet above sea level. In 1842 a European military cantonment was founded here and it also became a convalescent depot. As Kasauli remained an army cantonment, restrictions imposed by authorities have prevented the old town from being built up and Kasauli still retains much of its colonial past. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Unknown | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
