Cherat Clubs Football Frontier Goal Goals Khyber Pakistan 1907
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene beauty of the Cherat Hill Club and Sports Ground in the North-West Frontier Province of India, now Pakistan, circa 1907. The image transports us back in time to the British colonial era, with its lush green landscape dotted with trees and the picturesque buildings of the officers' club nestled in the background. The soldiers in their uniforms are seen engaged in a spirited football match on the well-manicured sports ground, their focused expressions reflecting the intensity of the game. The goalposts stand tall, ready to witness the thrill of victory or the agony of defeat. The tranquil setting of Cherat Hill, with its stunning vistas and the nearby railway station, adds to the allure of this idyllic scene. The British Raj had a profound impact on the region, leaving behind a rich legacy of architectural and sporting institutions that continue to be cherished and celebrated in Pakistan today. This photograph is a testament to the enduring charm of a bygone era, providing a glimpse into the history and culture of the North-West Frontier during the early 1900s.
