Colombo Clock Tower/Lighthouse
A black and white portrait photograph of Old Colombo Lighthouse taken from the street. A bullock cart is on the road, facing away from the tower and towards the camera. Its driver is bare-chested and holding the reins of two animals. A shopfront can be seen in the background to the right of the image, its sign partially obscured by the brances of a tree. Original caption: 'CHATHAM St LIGHTHOUSE'.
The tower still stands and is located at the junction of Chatham Street and Janadhipathi Mawatha.
