    Looks to me like the back of the British Administrator’s residence looking southward from Turkey Lane.
    Must have been taken in the mid 1950s.
    The institution has since been moved approx 100yds further south of this location.

    If this is the old State House on Victoria street, what exactly is happening to the taller mountain in the background? Is it crumbling naturally or is it being mined?
