From an Album of Miscellaneous views in India, taken in the 1870s. Cherat, on the west of the Khattak range of hills was established as a sanatorium in 1861 by the British so that troops in the North West Frontier Province could escape the heat and disease of the Peshawar valley. It was declared a cantonment in 1886 and became the summer headquarters of troops in the Peshawar area.
