The Mall and Kim

The Mall and Kim

Also where today stand the Ganga Ram buildings on The Mall was Mr Davison’s carriage workshop. This was a set of workshops that manufactured the latest two-horse Hackney carriages, also then called Victoria’s. It might amaze many that some of the famous Victoria carriage in Karachi were originally made in Lahore and taken by river cargo. But then changes soon began to overtake these old dwellings on The Mall. The story of the evolution of The Mall is as delightful as the stories one reads and hears about old Lahore. It will take many a researcher like Rafiq Dogar to write about the history we all love to forget about. But then if walls have ears, so do the old trees of The Mall have stories to tell.
