Summary
| Description |
English: Kingsway, Valletta in the 1910s.
On the right side, the Pohoomull Brothers from India's store offering 'Oriental textiles'. The shop windows are covered to protect the items from the sun. The Pohoomull Brothers were the predecessors of many other Indian Maltese families. They applied to set up shop in Malta in 1887. "By 1910, more than 10 Sindhi firms had a business in British run Malta, which was a node in a global trade network. This small number of Sindhis held shops in the central shopping thoroughfare of Valletta, Strada Reale, to cater for a high-end tourist market ..." Other interesting features include a little girl in a għonnella; a mobile barrel (water cart) douching the street is in the middle of the road. |
