This item was digitised as part of the Whose Town? project, an educational resource for schools. Unique archival material was gathered together to create a snapshot of a person's life at a particular point in Edinburgh's history.
An opportunity came up for Bachan Kharbanda to open a shop in the newly redeveloped area of the Canongate. People had never seen anything like Bachans shop before with all its exotic handicrafts from India and Africa.
