The Friday Mosque at Kilindini, Mombasa

Abstract

This report, written in 1957, is and will remain the only substantial account of an interesting mosque on Mombasa Island. This building has recently been destroyed, despite conservation work having been carried out on it when it was in Dr Kirkman's care in 1951, at which time he was Warden of the Coastal Historical Sites. We apologise for the quality of the photograph, which had to be made from a faded print, since obviously fresh pictures cannot be taken.
