Nonesuch Silver Prints Jordan 1962 old Jerusalem

1962, March. Jordan. A street in the Old City of Jerusalem. The maze of narrow alleys and streets date mostly from the 16th Century when the city was surrounded by a wall built by the Ottomans under Suleiman the Great. In this steet the Hinky Dinky Bar is on the left.The sign is fixed to the wall. Today the Old City is still divided into its original four quarters - not of equal size and home to three faiths. Some of the old steps remain as steps but many have been adapted with ramps for light wheeled-traffic. Jordan lost control of Old City in the six day war with Israel in 1967
