    Not silent … the beauty of Tollinton speaks :-)

    I still remember going to tollinton in my childhood; there used to be a mini bakery with a book stall/news-stand in it :)

    The bookstall has been moved from there but I don’t remember the ‘mini bakery’.

    I simply love this piece of colonial heritage. It’s great to see it preserved this way.

    Plans are to connect Tollinton Market Museum to the Lahore Museum through an underground tunnel. Let’s see how long does it take to get this mammoth task done…
