Image title
Bridge at Chitral. Jirach Weir. Sep-Nov 1885 'The river at Chitral is, in summer, very deep and rapid, but in winter it becomes fordable. It is crossed by a bridge about half a mile above the fort. The bridge across it is a strongly made single-span timber bridge, on the cantilever principle before described, exactly 41yards long and 5 feet broad, guarded by a stone tower at each end, and further protected by two more towers crowning a precipitous height on the right bank. Laden animals can be taken across it'. The Mission was at Chitral from 11-18 September 1885 and again from early October to mid-November. [Albumen print, 278x216mm].
